For almost 30 years Daya has helped South Asian survivors build lives of independence and safety in the Houston area. We are thrilled to announce our new Board of Directors for 2024-2025!
Led by Fermeen Fazal JD (Board President), this year’s Board includes Shree Hardikar Nath, MPA, MSN (Past President), Ali Shah (Secretary), Christa Jaganath - CPA and Asha Desai - CPA, (Co-Treasurers), Viji Raman (Founder), Lakshmy Parameswaran - MA, LPC (Founder), Mika Rao - MS, Soha Haque - MS, and Fatima Mohiuddin - LCSW.
Daya’s talented Board Members encompass a wide range of personal and professional backgrounds and have expertise in legal, health care, social work, finance and the nonprofit world. Speaking the many languages and practicing the many customs of South Asia, our Board is tied together by their commitment to lead our community in ending domestic and sexual violence. They speak up and show up for survivors who are often silenced by stigmas and fear.
In 2023 Daya served 619 survivors with crisis intervention, safety planning, counseling to address their trauma, legal assistance to understand their rights, housing to start new beginnings, and job training to sustain safe, stable lives. Daya's culturally specific approach ensures South Asian survivors break through the barriers they face due to language, culture, and immigration status. Through the dedication of our Client Advocates, Counselors, Outreach, and Administrative team members, every client is shown compassion as they lead their path to safety in a nonjudgmental, warm space at Daya.
Our Board and Staff look forward to a 2024 filled with compassion, collaboration and connections with our community!
Congrats on the XII Congreso Sudamericano de Broncología. Recording sessions and then using a video to frames conversion for stills of key slides sounds practical for documentation. I used Video to Frames to pull JPGs by interval for a similar respiratory conference recap.
Diomaye Faye’s announcements raise big questions about accountability, and headlines like these often deserve emphasis. If you ever share such updates on LinkedIn, a bold text generator can highlight just the key phrase, like a name or policy pledge, without bolding the whole sentence.
The Gullah/Geechee Nation International Music Movement Fest sounds like a powerful way to keep those musical traditions alive. That spirit of connecting through music is what makes a music guess game like Guess The Song fun too, especially with its daily quizzes and one-second challenges.
Black backgrounds like the one on your page often work well for cutting out subjects cleanly, which matters if you're trying an StickerFaster workflow. A single photo of a pet or character can become a full sheet of twelve stickers, with crop editing before export.
