🎉 Congratulations to Brooklyn Tucker! 🎉 Rep 🎉 Congratulations to Brooklyn Tucker! 🎉

Reposting from Howard University to celebrate one of Colorado’s own: Brooklyn Tucker, an International Business major from Aurora, Colorado, for winning the She Has a Deal pitch competition this past May!

Brooklyn secured a $50,000 prize—but this isn’t your typical payout. The award comes as an ownership stake in a hotel project, marking a major step toward generational wealth and hotel ownership. Her winning pitch focused on a hotel development opportunity she identified in New Orleans.

She Has a Deal is a nationally recognized platform and one of the most competitive pathways into hotel ownership for women. Brooklyn’s win puts her at the forefront of a new wave of diverse, dynamic leaders in hospitality.

We’re proud to uplift this moment and celebrate Brooklyn’s brilliance, vision, and bold leadership. The future is bright!
