Houstonian Christine Tremoulet is shining a spotlight on local businesses through her passion for photography. She's capturing the movers and shakers around town—from the crave-worthy Dessert Gallery to the hands-on helpers of Houston Habitat for Humanity. Christine's project is a stroke of a larger movement, "We #SLGT," which encapsulates a community-centric message and call to action: Support Local, Grow Together. We love what Christine is doing with the SLGT Photo Project, a very cool way of showcasing the entrepreneurial spirit that lives in Houston.

That's four tapings weekly, 42 weeks out of the year.
