On today’s Hello Houston, Ernie, Celeste, and Frank are joined by Rania Mankarious, CEO of Crime Stoppers of Houston, who discusses the growing sex trafficking problem in the city during the show’s first hour.
Also, in the first hour, we learn about the National Marrow Donation Program from Hope Guidry Groves, Vice President of Experience and Product Operations at NMDP, as well as hear from Kenzie Paul, who shares her story as a stem cell transplant recipient fighting an aggressive form of leukemia.
Then, in the second hour of the show, we hear the latest installment of Frank’s “Friends of Frank” series, in which he sits down with Reverend Russell Levenson, a major faith leader and spiritual advisor to many, who discusses his new book “Witness to Belief: Conversations on Faith and Meaning.”
And, as always, Ernie, Celeste, and Frank, talk about the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including this weekend’s nationwide “No Kings” protests and Smucker’s suing Trader Joe’s after accusing the grocery chain of copying their Uncrustables sandwich.
