DC Friends!

We are doing one of final sneak peeks of our feature film at Busboys and Poets on Tuesday, May 12. Tix are only $20 and will go to pay for the venue. I'll be speaking alongside my producing partners Roderick Lawrence (Arena Stage's Seven Guitars) and attorney and legacy coach Tonya Rutherford (ex-Verizon). When you arrive, we'll do a fun step and repeat and hand out questions to get you thinking about your own purpose and legacy while chatting with old and new friends before we start the film. Please join me and bring some friends!

Lots of love,
Salma

Both projects have amazing messages and I’m extremely proud of the work we’ve done to date. 

The next phase is getting them seen. I’m looking for someone who is interested and invested in a partnership. 

Compensation- $500/month
Time commitment- 6-8 months (possibly longer depending on engagement and impact)

Interested? Please send a resume, 2 references with email addresses, and at least 2 social media links to ikamproductions@gmail.com

Thanks!

[Unicum] Zenés istentisztelet, koncert vasárnap

Kedves Testvérek! Kedves Barátaink!

Szeretettel hivunk és várunk mindenkit zenés istentiszteletre vasárnap, április 26-án 11 órakor a Wesley Seminary Oxnam kápolnájába. (4500 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington DC 20016).  Az emigráció témáját járjuk körbe igeolvasással, imádsággal, versekkel, de legfőképpen gyönyörű zenével. 

Vendégünk a Flaska banda Magyarországról.

Ugyan lesz Zoom elérés, de szeretném jelezni, hogy időnként a zene olyan jól hallható a Zoom-on, mint ahogyan szeretnénk.
