Melikabella Shenouda (Liberal Arts; Education) performed spoken word at TEDx Las Vegas. The second annual event was held at AC Element Symphony Park with the overarching theme of “Past. Present. Possible.”. 

Shenouda's composition, "Eclipse," encompasses themes of love, lust, and loss, with elements of comic relief. Through live performance and wordplay, her ultimate goal is to evoke a range of emotions, thus leading into a transformative, newfound sense of connection and healing, both with oneself and one another.
