and
Mistress of Ceremonies: Deborah Duncan, a nine-time Emmy Award–winning television journalist, producer, and host of Great Day Houston.
Join us for a lovely brunch celebrating purpose and community!
We'll spotlight nonprofits making a real difference and take a special moment to honor our editors—Gule Andrabi, Katya Dow; Flora and Francis Choy; Dr. Diana Collins; Dr. William Reading and Teresa Cox Reading, RN—and community partner Tommy Kuranoff of Momentum BMW for their outstanding support.
To keep the inspiration flowing, we’ll be sitting down with Miss Universe 2022, R'Bonney Gabriel, for a heartfelt conversation and a moment of fashion storytelling—then raising a toast to purpose, passion, and all the possibilities the coming year holds.
We will also celebrate some of our rising stars for their incredible writing and community service—Natalie Bishay, Nellie Bishay, Isabelle Hardison, Sarah Powell, Elly Wong, and Lanah Wu! 🥂
