Happy to report that I am thriving.

I got a job! I’m the new Public Programs Manager at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. As my first project, I’m organizing a huge community day festival taking place on November 6, 2022. Come check out the art, music, dance and family-friendly activities for free. The promo vid is below.

As the universe spins, I am also hiring for my team. Send qualified cool people this way: Specialist + Production Assistant.

Outside of work, I’m thrilled to be vending at this year’s Zine Fest Houston 2022. This is technically the first year I’ve been able to vend at ZFH. It feels so good to be able to participate in my local zine scene in an official vendor capacity. Come say hi, buy a zine and catch up on November 12, 2022.

Shoutout to Agave Bloom Photography for the new headshots to commemorate this new professional chapter. Book them for all your photo needs.

I’m still very much working through work-life-balance; a million unfinished creative projects; building community authentically; whilst in the pursuit of finding the perfect rug for my home office.

Send all the good vibes in this new chapter!

Letter from the Liminal Space

Letter from the Liminal Space

3 weeks ago, I quit my job without a new job lined up. I jumped out of the proverbial airplane without a parachute. There was no time to put on my oxygen mask. The plastic bag wasn’t inflating anyway. I left on my own accord, through a voluntary resignation. That’s the most I can say without being too chismosa. For anyone who has dealt with similar environments, knows the erosion of your sense of self and general outlook. One piece of advice from a former manager has stuck with me: “Do this job with integrity”. After 3 years of public service, I didn’t get much of a send off, not even an awkward office farewell party. But I have been able to hold on to my integrity and self-worth through all the challenging situations. And honestly, that’s the best feeling. I can hold my head up high and feel proud of the work I have done. The immense relief melts into my shoulders like ice cubes in a cup of sweet tea.
