Get ready to embark on an inspiring journey with Jay Gima, a political science major at Diablo Valley College, as he passionately discusses the power of community and cultural connection. Jay, who has already made waves as a member of Toastmasters and other clubs, shares his personal story of founding the South Asian Student Alliance (SASA) on campus. Discover how his California upbringing, love for sports, and commitment to mental and physical health advocacy have shaped his vision for a vibrant South Asian community. Learn how SASA serves as a cultural bridge, representing a tapestry of countries from India to Afghanistan and beyond, and aims to educate and celebrate through engaging events.
Jay takes us behind the scenes of SASA's mission, highlighting the importance of understanding historical events like the partition of India and Pakistan, and how these narratives are shared to foster awareness and connection. Excitement builds as Jay reveals plans for an upcoming dance event on November 15th—an evening promising music, dance, and delectable cuisine. Join us as we explore Jay's dedication to creating a lasting legacy for South Asian students on campus, and how his journey is not only about cultural preservation but also about inspiring others to find their own community and voice.
