We were fortunate to catch up with some brilliant artists, creatives and entrepreneurs from throughout the Houston area and they share the wisdom with us below.

Genesha Rhymer | aspiring journalist and trailblazer

This quote, “If someone tells you no, you are talking to the wrong person,” resonates deeply because it carries a powerful message of perseverance and perspective. It reminds us that a “no” isn’t the end of the road but a signal to keep moving until we find the right opportunity or person who aligns with our vision or needs. Life often teaches us that obstacles and rejections are not permanent; they are redirections. Read more>>

Katana K | Marketing Queen

Other than deciding to work for myself, the single most important decision I made that has contributed to my success is developing an intimate relationship with God. Growing in partnership with God allowed for me to release the need to be in “control” and allowed for my steps to be ordered and aligned with His will. I’ve come to learn that with God, all things are possible and even when it doesn’t seem like it, all things are truly working together for your good. Read more>>

Genrey | Singer-Songwriter A passionate artist who channels life experiences into her music, driven by authenticity to inspire and connect with audiences.

Risk-taking has been essential in my journey as a singer-songwriter.
Pursuing a career in music is inherently risky—it’s an industry filled with uncertainties, but it’s also where I find my greatest passion. Deciding to invest in myself as an artist, whether by dedicating time to recording, performing, or honing my craft, has required stepping out of my comfort zone repeatedly. Read more>>

Alicia Gitlitz | Integrative Health Coach & Artist (Abstract Expressionist)

As an integrative nutrition coach, my mission is to empower individuals to take control of their health by helping them break free from the grip of sugar.

Through education and personalized coaching, I guide my clients in understanding the harmful effects of sugar on the body and teach them effective strategies to eliminate cravings and reclaim their health.

Glass Cities | Alt-Rock Band

We’re inspired by our friends, siblings, relationship, Miami’s energy and craziness, the beach, macro-economics, politics, insecurities, uk culture, Venezuelan and Mexican folk music and news- we pretty much try to give our point of view about everything that surrounds us. Read more>>

Karen Barrios | Animal Aromatherapy Specialist

One piece of conventional advice we disagree with is, “Get the pet groomed no matter what it takes because that’s what the owner wants.” While we understand the importance of fulfilling client expectations, our priority is always the comfort and wellbeing of the pet. Every pet is unique, and we thrive to support each one in the way they need. Sometimes, this means taking several visits to build trust and comfort with a pet, but ultimately, it supports their overall health and happiness. Forcing a pet through a process they’re too stressed or fearful to handle goes against everything we stand for as a holistic grooming spa. Our approach focuses on creating a calming, stress-free environment using soothing techniques, essential oils, and plenty of patience. Read more>>

Savannah Jade Garcia | The Newest Face Of Wilhelmina Miami

Modelling and content creation is like a sport! You have to be disciplined and focused on set and while creating content to give your clients the best look and feel in alignment with what they want. I grew up playing soccer (we call it football in the Caribbean lol) so I understood the value of discipline and what it meant to be competitive from early in my life. That competitive spirit stays with me throughout every different aspect of my career and I am really grateful for my foundation in sports as it shapes the way I approach the modelling industry now.

Liz Rodriguez | Founder and CEO

The most important lesson my business and career have taught me is the power of self-belief and perseverance. When I started Family Medical Group in 2016, it was driven by a mission to provide affordable and dependable healthcare, especially for those underserved or burdened by high deductibles. Building something from the ground up required not just strategy but unwavering faith in myself and my vision. Read more>>

David Fresneda | Business owner & student

Balancing my roles as a business owner of Infinitobooth, a full-time chiropractic assistant, and a college student studying to become a chiropractor has been a dynamic journey. At first, it felt overwhelming to manage so many responsibilities. Over time, I’ve learned to adapt by refining my time management skills, setting clear priorities, and staying organized. Each phase of my life has taught me the importance of flexibility and resilience in maintaining balance. Read more>>
