We’re feeling nostalgic for crowded concerts, foodie festivals, and just generally being surrounded by friends and family. But don’t despair. Along with new batches of KYLA, big ideas are brewing, and we can’t wait till we can see you again in real life.
KYLA is a proud sponsor of Women Creating Change presents “Stand Up 4 Her”
A riveting and thought-provoking evening, celebrating female storytellers from the Middle East and Northern Africa.
Standup comedians, poets, musicians and artists from Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, Morocco, Palestine, and Israel will share a stage to enlighten and entertain for one special night! We will bridge cultural divides through powerful performances during this memorable evening!
We will commence with a sponsored cocktail hour by Stella Artois and Dulce Vita, as well as scrumptious ethnic appetizers by Chef Oshri Vaknin. You’ll enjoy an art exhibit, silent auction, and of course a live show at 7 PM , after which the evening will conclude with a dessert reception by The Baklava Factory, and networking to the beats of DJ Karina Kay.
**All proceeds from the evening will go towards expanding and creating new programs for female filmmakers.

Crystal Marie Denha, Melissa Shoshahi, Noam Shuster, Nina Kharoufeh, Natalie Marciano, Zain Shami and Mona Shaikh.
