On today’s Hello Houston, Ernie and Celeste talk with Nikhil Nayak, President and CEO of Gulf Coast Blood, who tells us about how blood donations are being used for medical research and how people can join in this effort in the show’s first hour.
Also, in the first hour, we learn about the women-led immersive art installation The Fragility of a Creative Mind: Rediscovery of Self, which will be featured at this year's annual AfroTech Conference, with its founder and creative director India Dorsey, producer Lynette Guidry and event coordinator Banke Mayòwa.
Then, in the second hour of the show, we’re joined by Michael Adams, Director of the Master of Public Affairs Graduate Program at Texas Southern University’s School of Public Affairs, who helps break down the race for the 18th Congressional District.
Plus, our hosts and listeners share a rundown of the things that are currently taking over all their free time for our regular Thursday feature – “Current Obsessions.”
And, as always, Ernie and Celeste talk about the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including President Trump saying he “could be” seeking $230 million from the Justice Department, community concerns over the planned homeless hub, and U.S. cattle ranchers criticizing President Trump for supporting the idea to import beef from Argentina to bring down prices for American consumers.
