Draft part 1
Beverly Hannah-Jones (~1960– ) is an architect, entrepreneur, and community leader in the U.S. state of Michigan. She has been profiled as an "architect extraordinaire" as early as May 1995, and as half of "the dynamic duo of Detroit's downtown restaurants."

Draft part 2
While in a pre-medical program at Michigan State University, she took a few drafting courses, and then switched her major to architecture and began pursuing the goal of owning her own firm. She transferred to Lawrence Technical University in order to simultaneously build architectural skills and learn to run a business. She earned a bachelor's degree in 1985 and took a job with Albert Kahn Associates, where she worked for eight years and earned her architectural license. She then moved on to a smaller firm in Pontiac to get hands-on experience with business leadership, and the next year, launched her own firm, Hannah & Associates, Inc.

As of 1996 her firm, Hannah & Associates Inc., was one of only ten architecture firms in the United States owned by Black women. Early projects included a church sanctuary and automotive contracts, including collaboration with Albert Kahn.
