DAWA - Diversity Awareness and Wellness in Action

DAWA - Diversity Awareness and Wellness in Action DAWA means 'medicine' in Swahili. We believe that medicine encompasses more than just pills.

We believe medicine can also be meeting people with practical, immediate resources that can bridge the gap when they are in crisis.

Had to take our time out to give flowers to Hoover Alexander () - a whole Austin culinary hero with a heart the size of TEXAS 🌹

On countless occasions, we have experienced Hoover showing up for the Austin community with a kindness and compassion that is truly LEGENDARY ✨️

Alexander gives and serves DAILY through , and it's an honor to reflect some of that light back in his direction for the work he has done in this city for over 40 years 👏🏾

We See You, Hoover ✨️

Every month, DAWA is celebrating, elevating, and empowering the ESSENTIAL work of Austin's GIVERS through a unique portrait series featuring the work of renowned artist 🕯
