Houston is known for always being on the cutting edge of culture worldwide, and we thought it was high time to celebrate some of the most influential voices in the HTX! As a city full of influence, innovation, music, film, food, entrepreneurship and more, it was hard to narrow it down to just a few winners, but we think we’ve got a pretty good list. Allow us to introduce to you the SMN100!
