2010 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Sewing since the age of seven, in 2009, Najee began a clothing line of one-of-a-kind pieces. She is continuing production of this clothing line that resists institutionalization and challenges society’s notion of gender identity. Najee will continue to utilize recycled clothing to manufacture uniquely designed and fashionable garments. She believes that her designs have connected with members of the LGBTQ community because people recognize their personal experiences or struggles with being fashion conscious, yet different from the “norm”. Her fashion designs will lead to breakthroughs in gender stereotypes in an effort to open doors socially and politically for members of the LGBTQ community.
