One of DC's original Word of Mouth Poets, Laila (who now live in Cali) is back in DC this week to launch her career as digital artist, under the name: VJ Um Amel. She will be performing a wild, one time only interactive event at The Fridge this Thursday night! Description of the event is below. It's easier to just read it that to have me try to explain it.

The audience gets to decide how the story is told in this interactive live cinema performance on Thursday, February 25th at The Fridge in Washington, DC's historic Eastern Market neighborhood. In this 30- minute performance, VJ Um Amel (Arabic for ‘Mother of Hope’), an animated cyborg who is also a mother, invites the audience to get present with our post- 911 world.
