Choose "Afrika Spencer" in the drop down

I’m Afrika Spencer, wife to Larry, proud mother of four, San Antonio Champion, River Walk ambassador, and lifelong advocate for family and community.

My River Walk story began with a walk. During a difficult season of loss, my daily walks along the river became a place of healing, reflection, and connection. I began noticing the orange butterflies that reminded me of my mother, who loved birds and butterflies and whose favorite color was orange. They became a symbol of love, remembrance, and transformation.

Today, the River Walk is not only where I live and play, but where I work and proudly serve my community. As an Event and Sales Manager for Pullman Market, Fife & Farro, Mezquite, Ladino, Isidore, and Nicosi, I have the privilege of bringing people together and showcasing the hospitality that makes San Antonio so special.

As a River Walk Royalty candidate, I am raising funds to support students at St. Philip’s College and UTSA pursuing hospitality degrees. I know firsthand the opportunities this industry can create, and I want to help the next generation build their dreams and become future ambassadors for our city.

Will you walk with me? Your support helps turn my journey of healing into a journey of opportunity for others.

Thank you for supporting me, supporting our students, and believing in the future of San Antonio.
