We were lucky to catch up with Nahima Ortega recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Nahima , thanks for joining us today. Can you tell us the backstory behind how you came up with the idea?
Houston 5 O’clock was made to create a community. A way to try something new or go with what you are used to. To hang out with friends or make new ones. There is something here for everyone! So, don’t miss out, follow me on Instagram: @Houston5oclock
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Established in Summer 2022, Houston 5 O’clock, a candid and in-depth blog informs and showcases the best Happy Hours, new cool spots, events, and more, offered in Houston and beyond. Enjoy on a budget!

Thankfully it’s been a fun journey, people have been very receptive, I’ve received a few negative comments, but I was aware since day one, that some things that I love, others may not. I just don’t let the negative behavior of others destroy my inner peace.
What sets me apart from others is my ability to connect with the community and my expertise in the Marketing and PR field.
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
I think I just regret I didn’t start this project sooner! But as a wise man said: “Is never too late to start something new”.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
Definitely working with my mother taught me the value of hard work and sticking to a project until it is done right. Those moments in my childhood might seem small but they have made hard work and stick-to-itiveness a significant part of who I am today.
