With Najla — an UMMA Original podcast

The With Najla set: an armchair under a studio microphone, the show's logo on the wall behind, and an audience seated in the dark.

Every person has a story. Every conversation can open a new door. With Najla brings different guests, fresh perspectives, and meaningful conversations to our community — from family and wellbeing to education, culture and everyday life. Join us in person, meet others, and be part of the conversation.

  • Every Wednesday, 5–7 PM. First live podcast Wednesday, October 7.
  • The Main Area, 6 Arc Place, Staten Island
  • Recorded in front of a live audience. Free to attend, seats are limited.

Our first guest is announced soon

What we talk about

Family and wellbeing, education, culture, and everyday life. Najla sits down with people whose knowledge and experience are worth sharing, and the room is part of it: come in person, meet the others who came, and stay for the conversation afterwards.

This is part of what the studio is for. A room where knowledge gets shared, community voices get heard, and a conversation leaves the building with more people in it than it started with.
