Real Stories. Real Action.

Felicia Ray Owens at the Center of It All.

It’s official.

This Friday, June 27, my very first column will be published in the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung—and I still can’t believe it’s real.

The column is called C4: Coffee. Cocktails. Culture. Conversation.

It’s more than just a title. It’s a space where real stories, layered truths, and meaningful dialogue meet on the page.

Some columns will start with a personal reflection.

Others might begin with a question I can’t let go of.

But every single one will be rooted in purpose, perspective, and public power.

This has been a long time coming.

I’ve spent the past year building this platform behind the scenes—quietly reshaping what it means to share my voice out loud. And now, thanks to this partnership with the Herald-Zeitung, that voice is going to print.

🗞️ You’ll find the column in Friday’s edition and on FeliciaRay.com—along with bonus reflections, audio clips, and behind-the-scenes conversations I’ll be sharing here and across the FROUSA platform.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me, pushed me, prayed for me, or just stayed close while I figured out what this next season needed to look like. This is only the beginning.

Let’s tell the stories that matter.

Let’s have the conversations that move us forward.

Let’s meet at the table.

The column drops Friday.

And I can’t wait for you to read it.
