Cultural Derkafication

“Derka” is a stereotypical Arabic word used in lieu of actual Arabic dialogue. On District Derkas, hosts Sama’a Al-Hamdani and Lilia Okalina demystify commonly misunderstood aspects of Middle Eastern culture and create a space for open dialog aimed to teach, inspire and entertain. D This show records and broadcasts LIVE on Full Service Radio from the lobby of the LINE DC in Adams Morgan, Washington DC.
