Ask A Chola boldly experiments with the avant-garde genre of spoken word poetry. Like her Beatnik predecessors who defined the genre, Ask A Chola rejects the social norms of her time. In this first piece, she articulates her frustration with a particular saleswoman at Best Buy.

I made this for Ecospot, a global warming themed video contest they are running on Current TV in conjunction with The Alliance for Global Protection. I wonder if I will win...? Hopefully, the judges like Cameron Diaz, George Clooney and Al Gore will like my work. This is the first in a series of global warming awareness videos I will make.
