Houston community & gatherings

Conversations, local connections and places that help Houston feel familiar.

Let’s Meet with Oksana Bogott

I host monthly gatherings for Russian-speaking women in Houston. They are a chance to meet, talk and support one another, whether you have recently moved or have lived here for years. Follow my channels for the next gathering announcement.

We share experiences, talk about life in the city and make new connections. Russian is a shared language for conversation; every participant has her own story and cultural identity.

Houston Slavic Association

I serve as Vice President of the Houston Slavic Association. The association connects people through Slavic traditions and culture; its initiatives include a Maslenitsa festival. For me, this work is a way to support connections and share traditions with the wider Houston community.

Background on my role and involvement: Houston Agent Magazine, 2025.
