About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I love Houston. It's where I was raised. I went to HSPVA, I was in the dance department. Later, I attended UT on a dance scholarship, but also began to write. I later attended Columbia University for film directing and later moved to Los Angeles to direct and get hired as a screenwriter. In 2010, I moved back to my hometown and started a nonprofit called 14 Pews. So, this lovely sanctuary is behind 14 Pews. Right now I am traveling and doing a photo series with my tribe in Michigan - Sault Ste Marie, Michigan Tribe of Chippewas, where I'm photographing my Elders and also photographing a tribe outside of Thibodaux, Louisiana.

Why they chose this property

I love the Houston Heights and not just because it has the best restaurants, bars, 19th street, art galleries and the Heights Theater. But it's location is fantastic. It's easy to get anyplace and it's a place you don't mind staying in and exploring.

What makes this property unique

My property is behind the last standing wooden church in the Houston Heights. It's a famous property - at one time it was the home of the Aurora Picture Show. So, we're nestled in the back of a historical church and it's a huge lovely backyard - I have two dogs, so it's all fenced in and great for dogs and people as well. On the weekends we have events in the front of the property which is the church. During your stay you can attend any of these events for free. There is a detached restroom that our guests from the church use, they will not enter your private rented sanctuary, however they will walk through the yard to get to the detached bathroom.
