The last month and a half has been a whirlwind, to say the least. It's been a huge honor to have been recognized for the efforts that we, not just me, have put into @highvoltagemusicsa ...
I'd like to say one last THANK YOU to celebrated Artist and recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship "genius grant," @vincentvaldez77 for our inclusion in his @aclutx series entitled, "The New Americans", designed as a "portrait of resistance" and a visual reflection of contemporary American life. It was a pleasure to be able to go to his print signings yesterday, where he sat for hours with a very long line throughout the afternoon.

The second was a grand recognition by the @sanantonioriverwalk and @visitsanantonio in collaboration with @utsa (thank you @vgrodriguez ), and sponsored by @hennessy is being selected as one of six "Hispanic Heroes", kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month. Seeing my oversized portrait created by super talented muralist Crystal Tamez was a complete surprise! The whole installation at the @thestanthonyhotel on the Riverwalk was quite beautiful.

Both were unexpected honors, which I don't take lightly. To that, I will say this program would not happen without the dedicated instructors who are professional touring musicians @odie.bossbass and @bigbadharv210 and many musicians!!

This all comes while having our 10th Anniversary celebrating teaching youth in grades 7-12 to play an instrument at no cost, including instruments. 
Our students start the program by choosing an instrument, learning to play it, being grouped into bands, then ending the schoolyear with several events on professional stages throughout San Antonio, including our annual entrepreneurial event, Teens on a Mission.
Our students love classic rock, metal, pop rock to punk rock, and are free to express their creative selves on stage!

We're always in need of funding and support, including from private donors, to continue our mission as a no cost program, removing barriers to enrich students from underserved schools and communities who may not otherwise afford a music program. 

Help support the next generation of SA musicians!

With Gratitude-
Bell Solloa, Founder

Now that @visitsanantonio and The @thesanantonioriverwalk has it out there, I just want to say I'm filled with gratitude and pride to be one of six individuals that was chosen to be honored as one of the Hispanic Heroes during the kickoff of Hispanic Heritage Month!

As a first-generation Mexican-American, I accept this on behalf of being my father's daughter. 
I don't need accolades for anything I do, but when they do come, it does solidify some of the things that I feel good about that I've accomplished and have achieved being a self-taught person in our community. At the very least, I would like those who feel like they don't have all of the degrees and education that it takes to do what you would like to do, to know experience does matter and that it's never too late to learn on your own. Without that drive and knowledge, some of my accomplishments probably would've never happened..

The six of us being honored have our painted portraits up at six different hotels at the riverwalk. Mine is at the St. Anthony Hotel. @hennessyus has created a cocktail in each of our honors. Mine is The Bella Mule. I was asked what I like to drink, and generally, if I'm gonna have a cocktail, my go-to is a ginger beer and Whiskey, so they created a refreshing drink with their Cognac.

If I'm gonna get accolades, I think this is the fun way to do it.
Have your portrait up for about fifteen days and a cocktail to go with it!

Once again, THANK YOU to the city for the honor to be one of many representing our community! Cheers!
