Spent time with our seniors at Navidad en el Barrio at Ripley House—shared a meal, caught up with neighbors, danced a little, and helped judge the dance contest. Grateful to everyone who makes this celebration possible. It’s what community is all about.

Honored to present a City of Houston proclamation to Out for Education—celebrating 25 years of empowering LGBTQ+ students. Education changes lives, representation matters, and this work is helping build a brighter future for LGBTQ+ youth in Houston.

Due to severe weather, today's Public Safety Round Table in Independence Heights is postponed. We will reschedule, as having an open discussion about what we can do to keep District H neighborhoods safe is fundamental to what we do.

Still feeling the energy from Saturday’s Pride Parade in downtown Houston! 🌈 As the only out LGBTQ+ City Council member, it meant so much to see our city show up with love and unity. Let’s keep building an inclusive, joyful Houston.

Yesterday, I had a great conversation with Houston Public Media Hello Houston about my proposal to move the last City Council Public Session each month to 6pm so more Houstonians can have their voices heard. Council vote is coming up on July 9. What do you think?

We did it because you organized. Today, Council adopted my proposal to hold 6 PM Public Session the final Tuesday each month, so teachers, nurses, small business owners, and many more can finally be heard without missing work or family time. This is government that works for you.
