Thank you @harmonytexas for the opportunity to impact the students you serve each and every year. I’m honored to have @techfestlive be recognized as a community partner and look forward to more impact ahead!

In just under 80 days, we’re bringing STEM Go Pro Day back to Shell Energy Stadium home of the @houstondynamo Last year, we brought together 250+ students, educators, and industry leaders and proved when you put students in the right environment, with the right personnel, everything changes! To follow up last year’s Proclaimed Day by the City of Houston, we’re building a back-to-school experience that sits at the intersection of education, workforce, and real opportunity at a venue that represents the city at the highest level. Wondering what to expect? - Students will engage directly with companies, builders, and professionals - Partners will activate, not just show up - Panels will connect real stories to real pathways - The entire day is designed to move students from curiosity to clarity We’re opening this up to the full ecosystem: - Students & Families will be in the building - Summer educators will bring their students - Volunteers will help us run point - Exhibitors will show what their industry really looks like - Sponsors will invest in their future talent pipeline July 30 | Shell Energy Stadium | 10am - 3pm | Free Registration | Registration for volunteers, exhibitors, and sponsors opportunities are open.

Judging @TechFestLive youth pitch competition at @TXRXlabs during @HoustonExponential 's H-Town Roundup week! Proud to have repped the @WolffCenter & @Goodspero as a judge in this innaugural competition. Congrats to all 16 teams for showing up to pitch (most for the first time)! 1st place went to 3 high school ladies who clearly prepped and practiced their pitch! Unanimous decision on awarding them 1st! 2nd place was a tough decision and as judges we deliberated back and forth on who earned that spot! Ultimately we thought another team of 3 young ladies from the same high school presented their idea the best. 3rd place was a team of middle school students! Although we had lots of questions during Q&A to clarify their problem/solution, the need was there and they were able to answer all of our questions. Congrats to everyone who participated and my hope is that all the feedback we gave you on the judge's scorecards is implemented for the next pitch competition! Thanks for a great day @tflceo @dannayussieth & Liana!

As we step into Week 4 of the Chamber Link Entrepreneurship Program, we’re reflecting on an impactful Week 3 focused on Marketing and Digital Tools! 📲✨ Last Saturday, participants explored the full scope of marketing—understanding the differences between marketing, advertising, and selling, while learning how to build strategies that drive visibility, trust, and growth. Participants also began thinking ahead—planning for the future of their businesses and how to adapt in an ever-evolving digital landscape. A special thank you to this week’s facilitators, Kim Roxie, Founder & CEO of @lamikbeauty ; Michelle Ngome, President of @aamahouston ; Ashley Small, Founder & Lead Strategist at @medleyinc ; and Khalil Vinson, Founder & CEO of @techfestlive , for sharing their expertise and real-world insights. Today, participants are building on that momentum by diving into how to navigate business reports, build budgets, and understand the fundamentals of business law. There are a few weeks left in this cohort! If you or your organization are interested in supporting the Chamber Link cohort, please email [email protected] to learn how you can get involved. #ChamberLink #GHBC #WhereBlackBusinessesGrow
