Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s Hello Houston, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with Erik Ibarra, co-founder of Ox St. Kitchen, and Ivan Chavez of Chavo’s BBQ, who both discuss how Latino-owned businesses are creating new opportunities and flavors in Houston.
Also, we have another edition of our Tuesday feature, Five Simple Questions, in which Hello Houston Executive Producer Jim Kovacik talks with Houston-based media personality, emcee, speaker, and community leader, MeMe Money.

In the second hour, we’re joined by author and motivational speaker Chantell Preston, who talks about her recently released book The Success Lie: Reframing Your Reality to Thrive Personally and Professionally, and how it challenges the belief that success can only be achieved through sacrifice.
Plus, we turn to literature and talk with Jaundréa Clay and Brooke Lewis, journalists and co-organizers of the annual BIPOC Book Fest, who tell us all about this celebration of the power of diverse stories and why creating space for diverse voices is important.
And, as always, our hosts Tessa Barrera and Ernie Manouse discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick using three Texas University football teams’ traditions for a campaign ad, Rep. Jasmine Crockett honoring singer Chris Brown at a concert, new details revealed about a holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case, and more.
