La Palabra was at Empower DC's empowerment circle: Using The Media Before It Uses You. We spoke to the attendees about their thoughts on mainstream and local media. Their new media skills were tested as we caught the reactions of this diverse group of ladies.  

‎"KEEP DC WALMART FREE" After hours and hours of preproduction, production and post production, Finally my first music video" Keep DC Wal-mart Free" is on the air. Even though this simple piece is about 4 minutes long, it took more than 3 months to complete. Moving from simple sketches on a paper to having the final print of video on web was not only fascinating but equally wonderful learning experience. Once again at this point, I would like to thank Head-Roc, Parisa, Liane and Empower DC family for keeping me motivated and engaged during my summer internship.  Making of this video helped me a lot to understand my second hometown DC- politics, problems, pollution and policies. Thanks UDC for giving me civic engagement grant ,without that I wouldn't have survived this summer. At last, This whole process of producing a video taught me a lot. I think trial and error method is the best  and only way to learn when one is trying to sharpen your skills. Comments and criticisms must welcome. ~ RO
