DGF Fellows - Nambi E. Kelley

The most valuable connection during my time was the mentorship of Diana Son. During my fellowship with DGF, I developed an adaptation of Toni Morrison’s Jazz that she championed and encouraged me to take as many risks as I wanted while still being true to very basic storytelling. She has been pivotal in my post-fellowship life and I am proud to have shared space and time with her. My excerpt is the opening of my play, which I wrote and rewrote incessantly during my fellowship.
