Support Little Black Book

Little Black Book has grown through two residencies, an industry reading, a community campaign and a workshop premiere at 651 ARTS. The next step is a full production, and Najee is looking for the people who will help build it.

Already behind it

In 2024, 129 people gave over $12,000 to the Little Black Book Fellowship, past its $10,000 goal. The play was developed at SPACE on Ryder Farm and Hi-ARTS and premiered as a workshop production at 651 ARTS in December 2025.
