Champions for Legacy
"Recognizing the oral traditions that have shaped the Black experience, "Grio" explores the relationship between natural hair practitioners and the historical context of activation as archiving, inspired by the legacy of West African Griots. These sages weave the threads of knowledge, ensuring that wisdom resides within individuals yet finds its true voice in the embrace of community."
