Where Scholarship Meets Liberation.


The Griot Collective is a Black feminist media, scholarship, and community organizing institution — rooted in hip-hop, grounded in theory, and accountable to the ancestors.

A griot is the keeper of community memory. The oral historian. The truth-teller. The cultural archivist of the African tradition. A collective is a community of purpose.

​

Together, The Griot Collective and The Griot Collective Community Foundation Corp. form a living institution dedicated to preserving, producing, and amplifying the mind, culture, and civic power in Atlanta and beyond.

​

We are a movement infrastructure built to outlast any single moment, any single platform, and any single person.
