The Griot and Grits Heritage Dinner

The Griot and Grits Heritage Dinner

Join the Griot and Grits team for the inaugural Griot and Grits Heritage Dinner, an unforgettable evening where culture, creativity, and community converge. This is more than just an event—it's a celebration of heritage and vision.

Inspired by the West African griot—the original keepers of oral history—Griot and Grits is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, enhancing, and celebrating Black family stories for future generations. We address the urgent need to capture the experiences across generations of Black people who have lived through significant historical milestones but, until now, have lacked a platform to share their voices.

The Griot and Grits platform leverages cutting-edge technology to create a comprehensive, searchable archive of the Black experience. This allows families and communities to contribute, engage with, and preserve their unique narratives, ensuring these vital stories are never lost and continue to inspire, one voice at a time.
