Atlanta Black Chamber to Host August 20 Homecoming at Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs
ATLANTA, GA / ACCESS Newswire / August 13, 2026 / Dr. Velma Trayham, award-winning entrepreneur, economic empowerment leader and Amazon bestselling author, is bringing her national UNFIREABLE Book Tour to Atlanta on Thursday, August 20, 2026, returning to the city that played an important role in her entrepreneurial journey.
Dr. Velma Trayham’s “UNFIREABLE” Book Tour comes to Atlanta on August 20, 2026
Hosted by the Atlanta Black Chamber, the event will take place at 3:00 p.m. at the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs (RICE), located at 504 Fair Street SW in Atlanta.
Trayham released her latest book, UNFIREABLE: How to Lead With Purpose and Thrive in the Age of AI, in April 2026. The book became an Amazon Bestseller in three categories within 24 hours of its launch and explores purpose, leadership, entrepreneurship and adapting to an economy increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence.
The national book tour has connected Trayham with entrepreneurs, executives, professionals and community leaders across the country. The Atlanta stop represents a return to a community where she spent years building businesses, supporting entrepreneurs and developing initiatives focused on economic opportunity.
Through her nonprofit, Millionaire Mastermind Academy, Trayham has worked to provide entrepreneurs with access to business education, mentorship, development opportunities and resources. Her work has expanded across markets through partnerships with corporations, community organizations and other stakeholders.
In Atlanta, Trayham will discuss the principles behind becoming “unfireable,” including developing transferable skills, understanding personal purpose, embracing innovation and creating opportunities in a changing economy.
Following a recent appearance in Utah, Sharlene Wells, Chief Public Affairs Officer at Mountain America Credit Union, praised Trayham’s presentation and described her message as focused on purpose-driven leadership, financial independence and entrepreneurship.
For Trayham, the Atlanta event is both a stop on the national tour and an opportunity to reconnect with a community that was part of her earlier entrepreneurial journey.
“Atlanta was an important part of my journey,” said Dr. Velma Trayham. “Some of the earliest work, relationships and lessons that helped shape this mission happened here. To return now with UNFIREABLE, after seeing this message reach people across the country, is incredibly meaningful.”
