Today I attended a luncheon for American Women in Radio and Televison. I use to be a member and was even Past President of the organization when I was 28. I joined the organization at 23 just starting out in the business to meet people and get an understanding of the Houston media. It is a wonderful organization... but back to today.
I went to the luncheon with Cynthia Hougardy whom is our GSM here at Channel 55- and Ive known her since way back when we were BOTH in our early 20's and members of AWRT so it was simply fun for us to think back and giggle about the good 'ole days!
It was fun to see old friends today, old mentors, as well as new fresh, young and bright up and coming Media Stars of Houston. It really reminded me the importance of mentoring young professionals. I had so many wonderful people around me cheering for me, helping me, teaching me and supporting me.
If Broadcast Televison is in your blood (like it is mine from an early age) dont give up! I pinch myself everyday that I am living my dream and loving what i do! And whatever you do- find someone to mentor.....it will change their life forever and possibly your's too!
