Admitting defeat against the forces of nature that compel her to sneeze, cough, and itch when prompted to perform an oil change on schedule, area woman Rhoda Bleu was taken to the nearest emergency clinic Thursday, where she was diagnosed as severely allergic to car care.
Bleu, a 38-year-old Shaw resident, says her eyes welled up with tears and an intense headache overcame her when she realized she might have to sit in an auto shop waiting room and make eye contact with someone during the service.
“What if they use a bunch of terms I don’t understand to try to get me to spend even more money?” she sniffled.
Sources also confirmed that Bleu was seen ignoring her check engine light and texts from her mom about coming to visit soon.
Clinicians referred Bleu to a specialist to alleviate her symptoms.

We have been representing and advising numerous federal employees regarding the Reductions-in-Force (RIF) that have recently been issued by several different federal agencies.
As most people have started to realize, these RIF actions have not been thought out very well and have been designed for speed as opposed to accuracy or compliance with the meaning of law and regulation. The question now is what to do if you receive an RIF.
What is a Federal Employee RIF
Federal employee RIFs are simply notices which start the separation process for federal employees. RIFs are supposed to be issued due to restructuring, department elimination, or lack of funding or work. RIFs are also supposed to follow laws, rules, and regulations. A federal employee is also supposed to be given 60 days’ notice before separation.
What We Have Been Seeing Lately
In many of the cases we have seen, most federal employee RIF notices simply state that their entire competitive areas have been eliminated. These mass RIF actions were never anticipated when the laws and regulations governing them were issued. The rules were supposed to be based not on speed but rather on a thoughtful process of eliminating positions that were no longer needed when government funds were low or when an agency needed to restructure.
In reality, the RIFs appear to simply be a means of getting rid of as many federal employees as quickly as possible based on a directive from the President. In most of the notices we have seen, there has been no consideration for performance ratings, years of service, or prior military service. The federal agencies directed to conduct these RIFs have simply looked at cutting numbers and not needs or proper reorganization. This is extremely unfortunate.
Mosaic Theater Company brings the D.C. premiere of cullud wattah to the stage, spotlighting the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and offering audiences the chance to engage with local and national organizations fighting for clean water.
Written by Erika Dickerson-Despenza, the play runs at the Atlas Performing Arts Center from April 3-27.
“cullud wattah addresses one of the most pressing social issues of our time: our right to safe, clean water,” said Reginald L. Douglas, Artistic Director of Mosaic Theater. “At the heart of the play, three generations of Black women navigate a world that is literally poisoning them. This production is a powerful family drama and a call for environmental justice, urging audiences to push this movement forward.”
The play is set in 2016, marking 936 days since Flint residents lost access to clean water. Marion, a third-generation General Motors employee, is on the verge of a promotion when her sister’s activism threatens to upend their family’s stability. Forced to confront painful truths and threats to their tight-knit family, the women must fight for their survival.
For director Danielle A. Drakes, cullud wattah is a deeply personal project. “It makes me think about the women in my life — our strength, our survival, our love,” she shared. “This play is powerful, poetic, and urgent, shining a light on Black women’s resilience, environmental justice, and the generational impact of systemic neglect.”
The cast features Obie Award-winner Lizan Mitchell as Big Ma, alongside Kelly Renee Armstrong as Marion, Ezinélia Baba as Plum, Andreá Bellamore-Jeanniton as Ainee, and Khalia Muhammad as Reesee.
Mosaic Theater is expanding the conversation beyond the stage with its Reflection Series, offering community discussions on topics such as restorative ecological practices, D.C.’s own complicated water history, and environmental justice. The series includes a post-show panel on April 25 marking the ninth anniversary of the Flint Water Crisis and an Earth Day cleanup on April 26 along the Anacostia River.
With cullud wattah, Mosaic Theater Company continues its commitment to socially conscious storytelling, bringing urgent national issues to the forefront through the lens of powerful, personal narratives.
