https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Partyknaller" aria-label="Emoji: Partyknaller"> since I joined @TexasMonthly full-time, so to celebrate, here& #39;s a quick recap of some of the stories I& #39;m proudest of. First off: The Lion Tamer. I cannot describe how amazing it was to see my grandpa& #39;s story in print. https://bit.ly/3bgKf1W ">https://bit.ly/3bgKf1W&q...
The @AngryTiasRGV are a force to be reckoned with in the Valley, so I went down to Brownsville to write about the work they do after seeing it first-hand. https://bit.ly/3jBqo0e ">https://bit.ly/3jBqo0e&q...
Last year, young Latinas across Texas partnered up with @JoltAction to turn their quinceañeras into voter registration events. I went to Maya& #39;s quince in Dallas and heard from about the importance of the Latino vote https://bit.ly/34PbjUS ">https://bit.ly/34PbjUS&q...
2019 was the year of @lizzo, and I had tons of fun tracing back her Houston roots, her rise to fame, talking to her early collaborators and even her old @AliefISD band director. https://bit.ly/3gQnhzI ">https://bit.ly/3gQnhzI&q...
In October I did my first photo story about the conchero dancers of Austin whose traditions, headdresses, and regalia survived centuries of colonization. https://bit.ly/2EG5Tku ">https://bit.ly/2EG5Tku&q...
One of my favorite stories centered around the history of Black cowboys in Texas, and introduced me to the Prairieview Trailridersâthe oldest Black trail riding group in the state. https://bit.ly/2QLrEl6 ">https://bit.ly/2QLrEl6&q...
In March, I spoke w/ @RAICESTEXAS lawyers who were sounding alarms (and still are) about the poor preparedness of detention centers against COVID outbreaks. Today, TX has 180 detainees w/ confirmed cases & almost 2000 have tested positive since March. https://bit.ly/2EZUkUI ">https://bit.ly/2EZUkUI&q...
I crossed off a bucket list interview when I spoke with @itsSHANGELA, a true drag/Texas icon and professional. https://bit.ly/3hVIPN2 ">https://bit.ly/3hVIPN2&q...
It& #39;s been a wild 365 days & even though I do have a complicated relationship with Texas, it& #39;s the only place I& #39;ve ever called home. I& #39;m so happy that I& #39;ve been able to write about the communities that have always been integral to this state& #39;s story. Can& #39;t wait to share more
