Whether you’re a first-time voter or a seasoned regular, between new polling tech, late SCOTUS rulings, and misleading information circulating online, staying prepared is critical. Texas Civil Rights Project met with local media and provided vital resources designed to protect your ballot before, during, and after Election Day.
Thirty years of Republican control, endless campaign promises, and Texans screaming for economic relief.
Here is a truth about Houston’s job market: the most valuable professional networks aren’t happening over bland networking mixers in Downtown high-rises anymore. They also are becoming more rare on popular job search sites like Indeed and LinkedIn. They are happening in crowded, high-energy halls fueled by community, ambition, and serious intent. Career fairs have been around since the late 1940’s, but technology slowly pulled us away from the in-person job search. Now, technology is bringing Read more […]
Let’s not mince words about what just went down in Texas. In a state where voter suppression is practically a pass-down heritage, Tarrant County officials executed a textbook maneuver: voting to slash 92 Election Day polling locations ahead of November. That drops the county’s footprint from 316 sites in 2022 to a meager 224. They’ll spin it in corporate speak, citing “efficiency,” “saving taxpayers money,” and cutting “low-turnout sites.” But anyone with an elementary grasp of Southern Read more […]
In a state with a documented legacy of racial violence that has seen at least four Black hanging deaths in a single year—including 16-year-old Juliana Nzita and 36-year-old Cedric Tayhue—labeling these acts as self-inflicted statistics fails both the victims’ families and public safety.
The exclusive evening was a major success, bringing together 25 of Houston’s top media editors, producers, influencers, industry tastemakers, and VIP guests to welcome Yung Al to the Wreckshop family and toast to the exciting new chapter ahead.
What is happening in Gary, Indiana is triggering if you went 10 days without power like we did for Hurricane Beryl. Thinking about disaster preparedness when a storm enters the Gulf, places you far behind. Houston let’s rewrite your playbook!
Today, my seven-year-old woke up before daylight, crept past his two-year-old sister to make sure she was still sleeping, threw on his Spider-Man outfit (light-up mask included), and shook me awake with pure, unadulterated excitement. He was ready for the movies. I wish I were writing this to announce a partnership with Marvel to give 20,000 superhero-loving kids across the nation free golden tickets. But I’m not. Instead, while children like mine are dressing up in full gear, mouths ready Read more […]
I’ve always been a foodie. Not the eat-in-my-car-for-likes kind of foodie; I’m talking about being a native Houstonian who, back in high school, would drive to that one international grocery store on the northside just to explore. It’s my first taste of Roti and bean curd. It didn’t come from a trendy food truck or a curated social media feed—it happened at my friend Tyabba’s house, watching her mother roll out dough fresh from scratch. Decades later, I’ve watched Houston’s culinary Read more […]
They are flashing a fierce, unprecedented kind of moxy. While the adult world wraps up corporate campaigns and trending hashtags for Mental Health Awareness Month, Houston’s youth and young adults are doing something much more radical. They are stripping away generations of cultural stigma, they are looking a hollowed-out public education system dead in the eye to demand real support. The mental health crisis in Houston schools is no longer a silent struggle; data shows a student body in Read more […]
