About this Spotlight
We’ve collaborated, once again, with The Griot Party Experience to bring a Hip Hop spoken word storytelling event that addresses and heals generational trauma to the waterfront.
Set on Seattle’s waterfront at the newly finished built-in amphitheater of the Salish Steps at Overlook Walk, enjoy a two-hour event delving into the celebration of storytelling with the seas, mountains, and city as your backdrop!
About The Griot Party Experience
“Griot” is a West African word that means storyteller or poet. Oral history is a custodian of the cultural history of Black and Brown people.
The Griot Party Experience encourages the participants to heal via the celebration of storytelling. Believing that your story makes you human and anyone who strives to deny you of your story is attempting to deny you of your humanity.
The Griot Party Experience is a deliberate attempt to help people claim and reclaim their humanity via sharing their story.
