This past weekend I had the opportunity to go and learn about Hispanic Women's, Voting and Educational issues in Texas and in California at an event called La Voz de La Mujer. It was an event that was put together by some very hard working people in the local community. The special invitee was Dolores Huerta, inspirational figure to many in the struggle for civil rights mostly in Southwestern United States. She was part of a panel of Houston leaders who's expertise covers non-profit services management to local and statewide school boards. These speakers were each great in their own right. The event took place at Baker-Ripley, located at 6500 Rookin, Houston, TX 77074.
This place was literally a compound. It was massive. It was a clinic, a school, a meeting venue and a lot more that I did not have a chance to see. It is part of Neighborhood Centers which is a multi-million dollar non-profit that helps the community with classes for those that want to better themselves, bi-lingual clinics for those that are most comfortable speaking to doctors and other medical personnel in their first language. Houston truly seems to be trying its best in order to care for our growing population.
The speaker that was motivating most to me though was our very own Houston former HISD school board member, Juliet Stipeche. She was great in her specific choice of words and explaining how, not only was serving in the school board was but also how difficult it was because of the extreme cuts to our Texas public schools through our legislature. She talked about the struggle that continues and about how we must continue to fight for Texans, past, present and future. 
Houston really does seem to be doing a lot in respects to protecting our children and their parents in regards to their educations and their future properties and taxes.
I was also able to hang out with some great Houston business persons and all around good friends at a local drinking establishment, Lizzards, yes with double "zz," 2715 Sackett St, Houston, TX 77098. We talked about everything including marriage, dating, careers and my favorite, Real Estate. Lizzards has a great patio and it is located in Upper Kirby area right next to River Oaks. It was a really great place to just sit outside and grab a drink.
I then had the opportunity to visit my favorite place outside of my home, Byzantio, 403 W Gray, Houston, TX 77019. This place is awesome. It has great food, drinks, out door sitting and it dog friendly. It close to midtown and it has great downtown views. Their food is great and they have from Greek inspired burger to old Greek classic dishes that are so tasty. I love it hear from the great family environment to the regulars that make this place a "home away from home." Some of my best freiends come here often as well.
