Laughing All the Way

“The narrative centers around an aspiring comedian (Paniz Zade) who finds herself at the helm of a holiday variety show, a role that fills her with both excitement and trepidation. As she grapples with self-doubt regarding her comedic abilities, she questions whether she possesses the necessary skills to lead such a significant event. The pressure mounts as she prepares for the show, leading her to confront her insecurities and the fear of not meeting the expectations of her audience and peers.

However, a turning point occurs when a renowned comedian enters the scene, offering her guidance and support. This established figure recognizes her potential and encourages her to embrace her unique talents. Through their interactions, she begins to understand that her comedic voice is not only valid but also worthy of being showcased. This mentorship becomes a pivotal moment in her journey, as it instills in her a newfound confidence and a deeper appreciation for her craft.

Ultimately, the aspiring comedian learns that success is not solely defined by external validation but also by the courage to express oneself authentically. As the holiday variety show unfolds, she discovers the joy of connecting with her audience through laughter, transforming her initial fears into a celebration of her abilities. This experience not only solidifies her passion for comedy but also serves as a reminder that self-belief is a crucial component of artistic expression.”

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of watching Laughing all the way. People often laugh at you without knowing the full story and just simply because they find bullying  comical behavior.

My Charter School Experiences

In 1992, I did not attend a charter school. I have had a wide range opportunities that took place at various schools. I have not provided any services for schools as a consultant for a while. Among them include when I served as a substitute teacher for Mundo Verde PCS in 2013, I can recall working with some of the students and staff and sharing my passion and extensive background in visual arts. Additionally, I can recall when I served as a substitute teacher for DC International School. I knew a little bit of Spanish, but as a professional visual artist, I really enjoyed sharing my love and extensive background in visual arts with the students and some of the staff members at DC International from 2016-2017. Also when I served as an art elective Summer Camp teacher for Higher Achievement in 2013, the program took place at Center City Capitol Hill Campus. Providing each of these services in the past were a great opportunity for me. However, since these experiences, I have directed my ...

Why I taught the arts?

  When I was a little girl, I wanted to pursue a career in the arts. I choose the arts as a vehicle and outlet for me to express myself through using the arts. If it was not for the love of the arts and I had the opportunity to teach visual arts, literary arts, and dance throughout my community in the past. It gave me the opportunity to express myself as it is related to bullying and culture, especially to minority race.  I taught various art forms such as collage design, abstract painting, drawing, poetry, and dance to children, youth and dance.

How I became a consultant?

I became a consultant while I was a student attending Bell Multicultural High School. I  participated in the Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton's Congressional Art Competition in 1992 and 1993. During this time, I also had other opportunities where I was able to provide my services. These opportunities allowed me to utilize my formal training and education in the visual arts component to offer and provide services  to companies, small businesses, individuals and other places. I attended Bell from 1991-1993. I graduated in 1993 and was 16 at that time. Years later, I donated the painting shown in the above photo.

I have successfully implemented numerous creative strategies using my abstract art and background in the visual arts to achieve excellent creative campaigns for each individual event that I have provided services as a consultant.   ​As a consultant, I believe the key to a s...

Active Listening

“The best listeners convey their confidence in the other person.” Being quiet and listening fully to what the other person is saying without any judgment, bias and prejudice. Quote found on the Internet The best listeners convey their confidence in the other person by truly focusing on what is being said, rather than thinking about their own response or interjecting with their own opinions. This level of attentiveness shows respect for the speaker, validating their thoughts and feelings. It also fosters a sense of trust, as the listener demonstrates that they are fully engaged and invested in the conversation. By maintaining eye contact, nodding in agreement, and using body language that shows openness and receptivity, the listener communicates that they value the speaker's perspective. This kind of active listening allows the speaker to feel heard and understood, leading to more meaningful and productive discussions. Ultimately, conveying confidence in the other person through att...
