About Us

Founder + CEO

Born and raised in South Seattle, WA, local Black Muslim Theater Artist, Adem Hayyu, was surrounded by many creative artists and organizations who thrived on telling stories that matters the most to the community but lacked the technical resources to spread their message due to budgetary constraints, lack of equipment and many other challenges. As a way of giving back to his community that's given a lot to him, SkyLit was founded as a solution to these challenges.

If he had to choose, he'd get enough bread to befriend a horse sized duck instead of fighting the duck.
