Henry Florsheim, Gene Wu, Miya Shay, Charlene Chuang, Sheroo Mukhtiar, Nihala Zakaria, and Shaukat Zakaria (pictured, from left) attended the annual Tapestry Gala, A Brand New Day, benefiting IM Houston (formerly Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston). More than 500 supporters gathered at Hilton Americas-Houston and raised $650,000 to support IM Houston’s mission to bring together people of diverse faiths in dialogue and service. As guests arrived, they enjoyed music from deejay Divisi Strings and viewed artwork from IM Houston’s Refugee Youth Art Program. Ernie Manouse, host of Hello Houston on Houston Public Media, welcomed guests to the ballroom where they heard from IM Houston’s president and CEO Sheroo Mukhtiar and board chair Henry Florsheim. Children from Houston’s diverse faith communities offered blessings in a shared invocation from the Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Bahá’í, and Buddhist traditions. The Spirit of Respect Award was presented to the Right Reverend C. Andrew Doyle of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, and Charlene Chuang was named the 2025 Tapestry Honoree.
