Here are some fun facts about Rilwan:

  • He is a proud graduate of UT! No, not the University of Texas or Toledo... Tennessee!
  • Rilwan is a big-time movie buff. His favorite actor? Denzel Washington.
  • The events of 9/11 helped inspire Rilwanโ€™s journalism career
  • One of Rilwanโ€™s massive goals is to visit every state in America - heโ€™s quite the traveler! Heโ€™s been to 26 states so far!
  • Rilwan was a member of his high school swimming team!
  • Rilwanโ€™s eyesight without contacts or glasses is not great, by his own admission. So, in other words, if heโ€™s not wearing contacts or glasses, it might not be the best time to get his opinion on if youโ€™re having a good hair day.
  • Rilwanโ€™s favorite quote is from William Shakespeare: โ€œLove all, trust a few, do wrong to none.โ€

That sounds like a wonderful quote to us! We absolutely love that Rilwan is now part of the KPRC 2 family and are looking forward to him bringing Houstonโ€™s stories to all of you.
