Houston based life and wellness coach, Lindsay Locke, has made it her goal to inspire others to improve their quality of life by focusing on their personal growth and wellness. As the owner of LockedIn Life & Wellness Coaching, Locke feels it is her unique purpose to share her experience overcoming the tragic loss of her eldest child, Houston R&B Princess JaeRene, who was killed instantly in a drunk driving incident in April of last year, to help others prevail. On Saturday, Aug. 27th, Locke will be celebrating the launch of her new self-help book “Self Reflection; A Journey To A Better You” with a Self-love Book Signing Brunch at the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum. The brunch will include Fitness, Wellness, and Self-Care experts sharing tips on self-help, vendors, lite bites, and of course words from Locke about her self-help journey.

The Houston Minority Supplier Development Council (HMSDC) proudly announces its upcoming Minority Business EXPO set for this September 28th (day 1) and 29th (day 2). Ingrid Robinson, president of HMSDC, tells us about this year’s EXPO, which is intentionally titled EXPONENTIAL GROWTH, to describe our path forward as we push out of the pandemic into a new sense of normalcy. It is about making business connections, sharing industry insights, and learning about new opportunities to achieve exponential growth through the energy transition and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The 2022 EXPO is a “hybrid” format with Day 1 activities being held in person at Woodside Towers,1500 Post Oak Blvd, Houston, TX and Day 2 being held via HMSDC’s interactive virtual platform.
