The Real On Real Estate with Your Unyielding REALtor - the Key to Getting the Keys
As we approach 2022, many of us are making those resolutions. One of the many resolutions is the goal of home ownership. As a woman of faith, my faith plays an integral part of all decisions that I make personally and professionally. Galatians 6:9 states, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Having the confidence in the promises of the God that are outlined in His word is a primary and foundational source in decision making.
Bringing Awareness to Food Insecurity and Homelessness Is One That Is of Great Importance
Despite Houston leading the nation with the least amount of homeless people we still see about 4,000 that are without permanent shelter on any given night based on a SEARCH homeless services report. Even though we have crossed the over into the new year, the giving season lasts all year long. There is always a reason to help and give back to the lives of others.
“Quit Playin”
In 2022 Frugal is all the Rage!
True story. When I was 30 years old, all I wanted to be was a six-figure “Nicca.” I know the N-word bothers you, but “Que es lo que es!” (It is what it is!) And that’s exactly what I wanted to be. But nowadays, $100,000 ain't enough to keep up with the "Joneses." Listen up if you're 20 to 39 and think you're a real “Henry” (high earner- not rich yet). Let me spit some real game. In 2022 you will have to get smarter. Frugalness is in vogue. It’s all the rage! “Don’t break a dollar to spend a dime” is what mama always quoted as a caveat of caution; think before you part with your hard-earned money.

Opinion: What I Witnessed On January 6
On January 6, I woke up knowing it was going to be a difficult day, but I had no idea that it would take the harrowing turn that it did. In fact, I was actually somewhat optimistic when the day began. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, hours before, had won their US Sen- ate runoffs in Georgia, giving Democrats control of the Senate. Weeks earlier in November, in Texas and throughout the country, turnout in the 2020 presidential election had been historic -- with people of all backgrounds and political persuasions making their voices heard despite fearmongering and misinformation.

The January 6 Riot and Donald Trump Loom Over Joe Biden's Presidency a Year Later
Two weeks before becoming president, Joe Biden watched the January 6 attack on television from his home in Delaware, horrified as the unspeakable images of the insurrection unfolded and aghast at the sitting President's unwillingness to condemn it.
It Is Time for Congress to Act to Defend Free Elections
Jan. 6, 2022 marks one year since the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol, incited by a president voted out of office by the vast majority of the American people. What is now clear is that Donald Trump and his tong of zealous aides and complicitous right-wing legislators were deadly serious about overturning the results of that vote and keeping Trump in office. They failed but have since launched a systematic campaign in states across the country to make it possible to succeed the next time.
It’s Getting Nasty: How Sickness Is Spreading Across Houston
Today, a simple cough can clear a room. With the rise of positive COVID cases, Houston streets are getting nasty. People have become less concerned about wearing masks and social distancing. Many Houstonians have a false sense of security that the COVID vaccine is the ultimate protection against the coronavirus. Although the vaccine does provide protection against getting the virus, it does not mean a vaccinated individual can’t get COVID. The vaccine can lessen the severity of symptoms. People must continue practicing safety precautions, especially in a population where there are so many unvaccinated individuals.

Fourteen recommended reads about January 6 and 'what will likely come next'
I spent the morning of January 6, 2021 on the phone with one of my sources at Fox -- a true conservative who hated what Donald Trump had done to the channel and the Republican party. We lamented Fox's support for Trump's election lie and why so many people wanted to believe a fairytale. We wondered if Trump would fade into the background now that he had lost to Joe Biden. So much for that.
Republicans wasted no time dragging Big Tech into the culture wars in 2022
Almost exactly one year after the Capitol insurrection that led to former President Donald Trump being suspended from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, Big Tech was again in the political crosshairs this week for cracking down on an account from another Republican.
The single most important -- and powerful -- line from Joe Biden's 1/6 speech
"You can't love your country only when you win." That's President Joe Biden during a speech he gave Thursday morning to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the US Capitol riot. It's not only a memorable line -- it's likely to be the one that gets repeated the most today and in the days to come -- but also a hugely important one if we hope to fully come to grips with what happened last January 6 and everything that lead to that moment.
