Houston, TX – With hearts full of gratitude and eyes fixed on a brighter horizon, Houston proudly welcomes home one of its most courageous community champions. Tammi Wallace— Co-Founder, President, and CEO of the Greater Houston LGBT Chamber of Commerce— has safely returned after a landmark journey to Israel, where she joined nearly 100 LGBTQ+ leaders as part of the Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pride Delegation.
What began as a transformative cultural mission during Pride Month turned into a test of resilience and unity as international conflict erupted between Israel and Iran. The delegation, which had traversed from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to the solemn grounds of the Supernova music festival site, was abruptly evacuated. With grace and grit, Tammi and her fellow delegates navigated a 10-hour cross-border journey through Jordan, overnighted in Amman, and finally endured a 16.5-hour flight from Dubai to Houston.
