About the Griot Girls Workshop:This two hour creative workshop is an exploration of performing and literary arts in various African traditions from storytelling to rapping; there are lots of creative ways we tell our stories and the stories of our communities. Using creative writing as the foundation, middle school girls will learn various forms of writing techniques, oral traditions, and explore their own creativity by creating a poetry book and hosting their own open mic at the end of the semester.
