Tony Diaz, El Librotraficante and the Nuestra Palabra Crew talk cultural capital with Wei-Huan Chen, theater critic for the Houston Chronicle, who wrote a potent piece titled: "Houston theater diversity, not always so diverse". Jovan Abernathy tells us how she is bringing business into art and health into communities through Houston Tourism Gym.

Here is a link to the article: "Houston theater diversity, not always so diverse".

Wei-Huan Chen is theater critic for the Houston Chronicle. He also writes about classical music, opera and the performing arts scene. Before arriving at the Chronicle in 2016, he worked for the Indianapolis Star, the Lafayette Journal & Courier, the Needham Times and the Boston Phoenix. Chen is a member of the American Theatre Critics Association and a 2016 National Critics Institute Fellow at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center. He has won several awards for his writing on the arts, including First Place from Indiana Associated Press Media Editors for Feature Writing.

He has interviewed artists such as Wynton Marsalis, Yo-Yo Ma, Ira Glass, Jesse Eisenberg and Ben Kingsley. He is also an occasional performer at the Writer About Now poetry night at Avant-Garden and live storyteller (MOTH, IndyStar Storytellers).

Jovan Abernathy created Up for Whatever fitness tours through her the Houston Tourism Gym. She is a native of the Houston area and has been in the hospitality industry for over 20 years. She also runs international marathons, which was the catalyst of a blog she wrote (I Hope I Come Back Alive) about touring unique countries.

The success of that blog, coupled with her desire to give people a unique look at this city inspired her to start the Tourism Gym.

Abernathy said that during her time in the restaurant industry, she would frequently have customers from out of town, and they would always ask her: “what do you guys do here?” Her answer was always “eat!” From this, the hospitality tours of Houston was born. Most people are on a quest to find something they love and do it for a living. Abernathy knows hospitality, she can make connections with anyone she meets; her presence is inviting, fun, and she’s extremely personable — the perfect person to show you around the city.
