PR gal by day & multitasking mom 24/7. I’d like to think I’m “old-school-meets new-school” in my way of thinking since I’m part of the Oregon trail generation.

Glad I made a last minute trip to NOLA to see the Eras Tour one more time!

[The Eras Tour @tswifterastour]

"Wow, New Orleans. I’m still smiling thinking about that wonderful weekend. The city really welcomed us with open arms (with friendship bracelets on those metaphorical arms) and celebrated the tour with such flare. One of the things I’ll always remember from this weekend was getting to surprise the crowd with a performance by the pop princess of our dreams: @sabrinacarpenter. Side note: She had one day off from her very exhaustive tour schedule. Her show is physically full on and spectacular, and she could’ve been resting in her time off. One of the reasons I respect her so much is that she does things like this, goes out of her way to give fans a surprise moment they didn’t expect. She’s as real as they come and I’m so thankful she did that for us. Thank you to every one of those beautiful faces I got to see on 3 magical nights in Louisiana. Our next stop is our last US city on The Eras Tour: Indianapolis ♥️" - Taylor Swift (2024)

This is incredibly disturbing. What is happening to public education, particularly in HISD right now, is horrendous.

[Miya Shay @miyashay]

Wow. So @SpectrumNews1TX reports that while Mike Miles is laying off teachers & custodians in HISD, the charter system he founded is sending Texas taxpayer dollars to supplement his Colorado schools. 😬

“How would Dr. King reflect on the 60 years since his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech?” was this year’s topic for Houston’s 28th Annual MLK Jr. Oratory Competition for students across the Houston area.

This brought me some post #MLKDay joy. Congratulations, Montoia. I’m so proud of you and of the way you celebrated my father.

Founders, remember: big stories often start locally.

Whether it's an innovation solving a community issue or a unique business model, local news can amplify your narrative, drawing attention from bigger platforms.

[Laureen Lucas @ReenLucas]

Amazing!

Thank you for this great piece @Brian_Eastwood!

My latest for @HealthTechMag is a look at the "smart hospital" - what it means, what it takes to build one, and why the best tech isn't necessarily brand new when the doors open: https://t.co/FJXQ0fUn50

Don't underestimate the value of local media. Sometimes a local story can have a BIG impact.

[Laureen Lucas @ReenLucas]

As long as I can remember, my mom sent balikbyan boxes home to the P.I. I remember sitting on them as a kid, to help close them up, so they could get stuffed to the brim with treasures. Great story, @KHOUStephanie!

[𝙎𝙘𝙮𝙡𝙡𝙖 𝙇𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙯 @ScyllaLopez]

It means the world to me to see the company I work for highlight my #Filipino culture. My mama has 2 big balikbyan boxes at home right now, waiting to shipped to my family back home. 🇵🇭https://t.co/gdRv1ZPgzd #AAPIHeritageMonth @KHOU @KHOUStephanie
