Support LGBTQ+ Inclusive Businesses and Organizations Through the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce Member Directory
Choosing where you spend your money is powerful. By using the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce Member Directory, you can directly support businesses and organizations that are not only inclusive but also actively advocate for and uplift the LGBTQ+ community.
At the Chamber, we refer to this as "intentional spending" when you intentionally choose to spend your dollars with businesses and organizations that share your values of diversity, equity, and inclusion and support the LGBTQ+ community. Plus, spending dollars with LGBTQ+ supportive businesses means you are helping to drive economic opportunity for the LGBTQ+ and Allied community in the region.

About
I'm a 6th generation Texan, award winning event producer, and a natural born entertainer. My passion for exercising gracious hospitality began at an early age under the careful and loving attention of my beloved Mam Maw. Always the consummate host, she taught me the subtle art of southern hospitality.
My love for entertaining became a career early on in my adult life when I helped a friend produce her wedding. From there, I've worked in the design, decor, production, planning, and catering arms of the special events world for over two decades, so there isn't much I haven't seen.
In those years of experience, I have been honored to produce events held on behalf of, heads of state, and countless others from coast to coast and around the world. From charitable and private social events, hundreds of weddings, and corporate functions of all variety, my breadth of experience covers it all.
Armed with a sharp attention to detail and a desire to accommodate the needs of all guests, I have honed my hospitality skills to a sharp yet delicate point. My aesthetic is one of refined elegance with a modern vision of timeless classics. I believe that nature grounds our design principles and can almost always be seen in my work, even if subtly.
In my down time, I enjoy good food and wine, travel when I can, and of course spending time with my fur baby, Emerson.
