Hey @dancrenshawtx.bsky.social - Your staff directed me to join "Coffee with Crenshaw" via Zoom when I asked about townhalls, but you're not taking questions from remote participants. When will constituents like me have an opportunity to ask you questions directly?

So incredibly grateful for the @lwvhouston.bsky.social for coordinating a community call tonight. I feel so encourged and uplifted by wonderful women in our community. Be the light! #Light4Democracy

Most exciting part? Taking the next step as a Community Captain with Planned Parenthood Texas Votes! I'm hosting my first advocacy gathering ("Pastries & Progress") next month. From quiet supporter to community organizer - what a journey!

What a day of inspiration at the @ppgulfcoast.bsky.social #versus luncheon! ✨ Still feeling energized after connecting with so many passionate advocates and healthcare heroes working to keep essential services available for all Texans.

I know I talked a lot last year about Project 2025's plans for NOAA and it is happening now. If you are in Houston or other areas impacted by storms, please please please call your representatives. Here is my script:

Staying cozy on a rainy Saturday and living in the culture from home thanks to THE LEAGUE OF LIVE STREAM THEATER. I'm watching the live stream of Trouble in Mind from Pittsburgh Public Theater from the comfort of my office while I fold laundry and shop for my ballet recital costume.

I was watching our CEO @andrewrecinos.bsky.social present at our recent Q1 Company Update webinar, and he put it perfectly - we're laser-focused on developing tools that specifically meet the needs of Arts and Culture organizations. www.tessitura.com/items/videos...

This weekend I finished up "The Generosity Crisis" by Nathan Chappell, Brian Crimmins, and Michael Ashley. This particular passage stood out to me and made me reflect on my work at Tessitura.

And if you are in #Houston and want to get involved, start by getting connected with Hou Arts - houarts.org
This initiative is an opportunity for the sector to come together to craft a platform and strategy to champion the arts.

Major thanks to Texans for the Arts, Texas Cultural Trust, and all who made this possible! I was so grateful to spend such valuable time catching up with old friends, making new connections and learning about ways we can support the arts.

I was the only attendee from my district, so I got to meet solo with my reps from HD3 and SD4. I also spoke with staffers from Congressman Bell and Senator Creighton's offices about how the arts support education, the economy, and our districts' well-being.

With Houston showing up 50+ strong, we shared powerful stats with legislators like Texas creative industries employ 845,000 people (1 in 15 jobs!) and generate $6 billion for our economy.

What a powerful #TAAD2025 at the Texas Capitol! As both an arts & cultural lover and part-time policy nerd, it was an incredible day of advocacy and the data is clear: arts education, cultural tourism, and creative industries are transforming Texas. #TXlege 🎭

I'm starting this chilly Thursday with a morning coffee in one of my favorite L2 mugs, and I'm excited for the release of the @tessnetwork.bsky.social holiday message featuring a familiar voice. 😉

As someone working from home, I'm constantly seeking out meaningful in-person connections, and I know I'm not alone in this. See my profile picture at a museum as Exhibit A!

Hey - I have a group for you if you are a woman or femme-presenting person in the greater-Houston area looking for friends. We have a free event this Saturday!
