Apply to be a Modern Day Griot!

As people of African descent, we have a rich oral tradition of storytelling. Griots are musicians, oral historians, praise-singers, genealogists, and storytellers found in West Africa.

Today’s musicians, poets, writers, artists, and actors who tell the stories of Blackness with our flavour are our modern-day griots. Modern-Day Griots are those who want to share their stories through an Afrocentric lens, enriching our culture using words, sounds, images, and actions that have meaning to us.

Using the principles of Nguzo Saba to guide us, we will discuss who we are and what Black excellence means, all while increasing confidence and building your network in a safer space.
