The DRC’s soccer team is set to play its #WorldCup matches in Houston. ⚽️ They’ve been in Europe practicing and training, and have been advised not to add any DRC travelers to their “bubble” prior to arriving.

NEW: Bush Airport in Houston will be one of three U.S. airports designated to screen travelers coming in who’ve been to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda or South Sudan in the last 21 days. This is in effort to keep Ebola from spreading here. 🦠

NEW: the NWS’ Flood Watch now includes Houston and Harris County. 🌧️ The @abc13weather team suggests you have a Plan B for your outdoor plans. The most likely timeframe for strong storms looks to be Saturday afternoon and evening. abc13.com/post/houston-w…

Happy Birthday to my first hero, confidante and favorite guy … my Daddy! 🎂 Not a day goes by where we don’t talk … or a show of mine that he misses. Thankful for another year to celebrate him. ♥️

@iAmShanel5 Thank you Lord! 🙌🏽

. Hearing my name in the same sentence with cancer sent a wave of anxiety through me, but being able to text/call my family and friends and tell them they didn’t find cancer in my colon or bladder felt amazing!

We now have a daily risk for street/coastal flooding through the weekend … which is why the @abc13weather team has made Thursday and Saturday Weather Watch days. 🌧️ Stay informed and DO NOT drive through high water. 🚙 abc13.com/post/houston-w…

.@abc13houston was in for a treat today! Literally. In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, woman-owned Ube Co HTX stopped by to show us how they make some of their yummy ube desserts. Ube is a purple yam used in Filipino cuisine. 🇵🇭

Never thought I’d cheat on my chai tea latte … but here I am, switching to matcha (for now). 🍵 My best friend has been telling me it’s good!

We have mutually agreed to part ways with head coach Jason Kidd. A Mavericks champion, Hall of Famer and coach who helped lead this franchise back to the NBA Finals. Thank you, Jason. #MFFL

In honor of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth (May), let’s normalize self-reflection and hard convos. You may not feel your best every day … and that’s ok! 🌼 Don’t go on your journey alone. You don’t have to. I myself am back in therapy for anxiety.

Nope, nope, nope! 🙅🏽‍♀️ More gators are out and about in Fort Bend County, Texas … apparently because it’s mating season. 🐊 I don’t mess with wildlife. I’m staying out the way! abc13.com/post/video-sho…
