Collection: The Griot Collection
Storytellers are traditionally keepers of society’s history.
Griots are a part West African society that date back thousands of years. These storytellers, musicians, and entertainers have the role of preserving the history of their people through art. We believe that the spirit of that lineage has made its way to America and is living on through these figures. They tell our truth, and preserve our perspective.
Through this collection, we explore the American side of what we believe our American Griot's would be. Our aim is to bring their words and ideas into designs that show just how timeless and relevant they are.

from 10 reviewsLove the sweatshirt!

The visual? Timeless and moving. The fabric? So comfortable and soft. Get one now!

Great tshirt with a great and relevant message.

Picked up a couple for me and the hubby. Feels good too!

I am absolutely pleased with my purchase. The fit is great and very comfortable. The quality of the shirt is excellent. It arrived in a very timely manner. I appreciate this company and will definitely purchase from them again. I am also recommending them to friends and family.

Rocked this in Japan and got a lotta cool looks.

I love the looks I get when people recognize who is on my shirt. It has started a lot of great conversations.

Helps me keep my face when dealing with people but still serve it up.

Love my eartha kitt sweater. She never compromised and neither should you. Thanks!
