Award for 10 Year Anniversary of 501c3

September 2025

In June 2025 a writer for the Houston Chronicle contacted me,
wanting to interview me about my websites...of course!
After a phone interview I sent her some photos from my site,
and it appeared June 29, 2025, certainly capping off my Pride weekend.
Gee, June began with being part of an art installation...very cool!

In June 2025 I was included in a very cool Midtown Art Installation,
Thank you, Angel Albarran
It was a total surprise, did not know this it was planned

and, a couple shots of it taken with my bestie Bryan and me...

And, some close-ups of the letters

I did a short interview for the Spring 2025 Houstonia

My Board Member Joyce Gabiola was also featured.

And I was even included their just for fun Pop Quiz in the back...
