Houston Botanic Garden

The view points exhibit at @houstonbotanic is a MUST 💚

Enjoying a walk at the @houstonbotanic

It was a pleasure to join @airallianceHOU and Houston’s Young Monarchs at the @houstonbotanic for an engaging community event centered around environmental justice. While the day featured air monitoring demonstrations and a nature walk through the garden, I was proud to participate in the air purifier raffle made possible through Daikin’s generous support. Events like this highlight the importance of empowering youth to learn about environmental issues and take part in building a healthier, more informed Houston. #mattersforyouhou #onwardandupward #twilaforyouhou
