ABOUT STAY LITT
Established by siblings, Briauna and Simpu Mckizzie in the summer of 2018, Stay Litt is an art and literacy collective dedicated to cultivating creativity and academic enrichment in communities of color. We do this work by hosting book clubs, writing workshops, readings, and live performances. The collective is made up of talented and philanthropic artists of color.
Our services enrich and empower people of color in a world where they experience significant barriers to realizing their dreams and accessing educational resources.
As a passion project, the collective operates solely because of members’ private resources and donations from Allies.
Stay Litt thanks you for being interested in our work. We appreciate your time, energy, and your emotional and financial support.
We couldn’t do it without you.
