We learn about how she impressed her French professor at UT with macaroons crafted in her dorm's basement kitchen, her delight in being called “chef” by her mentor at Southerleigh, and her passion for building a business around her family. Jeannette and Fika offer a unique vibe to the Coastal Bend—a Swedish twist on relaxing with friends.

Welcome to Episode 26 of the HECHO Podcast, the podcast featuring the Coastal Bend's creators, makers, doers, and builders. The Coastal Bend has grown its share of very talented actors and actresses, including Eva Longoria, Farah Fawcett, Pepe Serna, Victoria Moroles, and Lou Diamond Phillips. In this episode, we get to hear from Nathan Ray Clark, another local actor finding success on the screen and stream. Nathan grew up in Portland where his acting bug was nurtured in the theater department at Gregory Portland High School. That experience eventually led him to Del Mar's theatre and then to Los Angeles, where, among other accolades, he graduated from and ultimately travelled with, famed improv school Second City (which I inadvertently called “Second Story” in the podcast). As you'll hear, improv is an important part of Nathan's success, and he generously makes time to return to Corpus to work with Del Mar's theater classes, particularly on improv acting. Nathan is a busy writer and actor, and he's also produced, directed, and starred in a web series with his writing partner.   Nathan joins a long line of successful actors and actresses who have roots in Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend. Be sure to keep an eye out for him in NCIS and Rescue: HI Surf and Stan the Man Movie coming out in 2025. Please follow him @nathanrayclark on Instagram and watch out for him during the upcoming filming of Evil Inheritance here in Corpus!   If you want more of what's now, and what's next, in business and entertainment in the Coastal Bend, subscribe to the HECHO newsletter at hecho.cc and follow us @hechocorpus on Instagram.    Thank you Nathan for coming on the show.

If you've attended school in the Coastal Bend at any time over the past 40 years, it's entirely possible that our guest on this episode, or his father, designed your school. On this episode, we visit with Nick Gignac from Gignac Architects in Downtown Corpus Christi. Nick is a second-generation architect, born and raised here in Corpus but with experience from around the state and the world. His dad Raymond, started the firm about 40 years ago, and after growing up in and around the office, Nick joined Raymond and the team of architects, designers, and other professionals and has been designing public and private buildings and homes around the Coastal Bend and across the state. Some of their notable projects here in South Texas include the American Bank Center, Veterans Memorial High School, Carroll High School, and the to-be-built convention center on South Padre Island, and some 600 other schools here and around the state.   I always envy those who get to leave their stamp on a community for 50 years like Nick discussed. What an honor!

When we first set foot in Texas to record this podcast, we were cautioned to not say the words “climate change” and to instead describe its effects (like more storms than in years past). But how does our language further fuel climate change acceptance—or denial?  In our 4th and final episode of In Hot Water: Texas, we talk about PEOPLE and the social issues at play.  You'll hear from academics, farmers, fishers, and activists and their thoughts on climate change and its connection to inequality in the seafood sector, along with the history of social justice (and injustice) in the Gulf.  Ultimately, how do racism, colonialism, white supremacy, and capitalism—systems of oppression—exacerbate the climate emergency?  One thing for sure is that NONE of us should dismiss a state just because of its politics.  We need to fight alongside their marginalized communities. Nor should we ever forget the youth who are set to inherit a planet that is quite literally and figuratively IN HOT WATER.  The time is NOW, friends. The future is in our hands.  Produced by Seaworthy and Seafood and Gender Equality (SAGE), the “In Hot Water” podcast explores SEAFOOD and CLIMATE JUSTICE in distinct regions. Episode Transcript Episode Guide :00 Intro 01:45 Crystal Sanders-Alvarado, founder of Seaworthy, details their journey growing up in the Coastal Bend of Texas that led to a career in fisheries and seafood focused on environmental and social equity. They also share why science must be communicated in ways that are relatable to everyone while not diminishing or avoiding scientific facts.  08:04 Let's talk about the politicization of the term “climate change”—does avoiding the term actually help fuel the denial of climate change?   11:55 Colonialism, white supremacy, racism, capitalism, and climate change are undeniably linked, and the only way to address the effects caused by a changing climate is to address these systems of oppression.  19:00 Two regional case studies illustrating how these systems of oppression operate in tandem: The fraught history of Vietnamese American shrimpers in the Gulf of Mexico who were falsely blamed for the declining shrimp fishery and Diane Wilson, the fourth-generation shrimper, who fought for decades against Formosa Plastics, the company whose plastic production and subsequent pollution of the bays is a real contributor to the decline of the Gulf's fisheries 25:50 Don't discount the American South—why those of us with the most privileged identities should engage with, and not avoid, conservative states 32:24 Evelyn James, an eleven-year-old ocean advocate and author, explains her love of the ocean and her observations of a warming planet 35:26 Suraida Nañez-James, Evelyn's mother, shares the origin of the Gulf of Mexico Youth Climate Summit and some of the amazing projects the participants are doing to advance climate solutions  42:42 It is important to engage youth in addressing climate change. Here's what we can learn from them 47:51 How to cope with the eco-anxiety and remain hopeful in the face of these global challenges 49:44 Evelyn ends our series with her hopes for the future and her Gulf Story   Resources:  Watch Dr. Rupa Marya's presentation, Health and Justice: The Path of Liberation through Medicine, presented at the Bioneer's Conference. The graph by Dr. Marya is below. Check out the following books referenced in the podcast! Inflamed: Deep Medicine and the Anatomy of Injustice, An Unreasonable Woman, Captain Paws, and The Fishermen and the Dragon: Fear, Greed, and a Fight for Justice on the Gulf Coast. Recommend this series to anyone who is curious about how climate change is affecting our seafood producing regions.

Research shows that literacy has a direct correlation to success in adulthood. Increasing reading skills in children positively affects their financial skills and health literacy. Unfortunately, as Corpus Christi grows, our community's literacy rate continues to decline. ​The Traveling Library aims to combat these statistics. By providing access to age-appropriate books, we increase our local children's reading achievements. Each book added to a Coastal Bend families' library increases their child's reading skills and love of reading. By supporting our communities' youth, The Traveling Library can foster an environment of success, one book at a time. The founder, Abigail and I chat about how she started the organization, all she plans to do in this new year and a bit about her own personal ventures.
