My friend Selina.
A few weeks ago a work trip took me across the seas into downtown San Antonio. I was excited for the upcoming travels not only because I would be partaking in a summit of creatives, but the fact that I would be able to spend time with a past colleague who ultimately became a good friend after we both parted ways with an ex employer. (Left voluntarily, not the other way around!) You see Selina departed our shores to pursue a beau in the mid-western states and well, now she can safely say she’ll be wearing cowboy boots with nearly every outfit. What I also ascertained very quickly, was that San Antonio Texas is full of big things. Big trucks, Big voices and Big Appetites.
