Somy Ali jetted off to Los Angeles for a work cum pleasure trip recently. The actor-turned-humanitarian, who now runs her Miami based NGO, No More Tears, needed some me-time to rejuvenate. She talks about her experience of this visit.
“The biggest win in addition to the holiday is opening up a chapter of my NGO in Los Angeles where human trafficking is highly prevalent. We have worked in LA before, but now it’s official. So, it feels amazing to be able to expand our mission from Florida to California,” she sounds happy.
Aside from working nonstop, Somy took “bouts of breaks” in between and enjoyed her time over some good food.
“During these I went to the best Indian restaurants in LA called Badmaash. I had pani puri there after almost 20 years and it was so worth it,” she continues, “I am overwhelmed with this expansion, but saving lives is my sole motivation whether I am in India, LA or in Miami. We are getting so many emails from victims seeking help in Canada and the US due to our show ‘Flight or Fight’ on Discovery+ and Discovery HD. Things are moving at a very fast pace, but in the right direction and I had prayed and hoped we would veer towards.”

The NGO works day and night to rescue women and children who are abused at home and help them make a life for themselves. The NGO also works closely towards saving children from being trafficked and abused. Somy Ali says, “Making others happy is what brings her joy and fulfillment. “Happiness is moments, small and ordinary moments like watching a child who was abused and is rescued by my NGO and is now sitting on the floor playing with toys as if nothing ever bad happened to him or her.”
