Trailblazing Tex - Darryl Blackburn (Petroleum Engineer) - a podcast by Brittany Metcalf

Darryl graciously joins the show. We had an incredible conversation! It’s a bit longer than the other episodes, but 100% worth the watch and/or listen. We cover a lot in this episode:

• Where he’s originally from in Houston


• How he ended up becoming a petroleum engineer


• Him being a Little and part of Big Brothers Big Sisters as a kid. Now he’s a Big for BBBS. Listen in to hear why he believes this organization makes the greatest impact


• George Floyd, and other lives lost at the hands of law enforcement


• Privilege


• Being intentional with who we support. If we want to support our communities, and specific businesses, like black businesses (artists, chefs, film makers, etc.), we must do it intentionally. Do a little research about the businesses around you!


• Places to eat in Houston to support black owned restaurants
