Year of the Griot
YearoftheGriot
This is an amazing time. We can learn and share more (and faster) than at any other time in history. But what if we took it all in a bold new direction? What if all our sharing and learning tore down boundaries and headed into our communities? What if we all committed to learning more about what we love and sharing it with a vengeance...for just One Year?
The Year of the Griot is a network of community literary, theatrical, audio-visual, and service projects dedicated to learning and sharing more about the African-American Experience. It’s also a movement. The world needs to know your communal story. This year - Tell It.
