My next book, American Griot

Donation protected

Would you like to be part of a project that will honor the wisdom of women in your community who have helped make our country great?  Do you think the youth of our community need to learn their history in a new, engaging and entertaining way?  If so, please support the American Griot Project. My next book is a blend of oral history and poetry. Through my American Griot Project, I am interviewing women who were alive during the Civil Rights era in the United States. It is amazing what we can learn by listening to our elders' stories! These women have given stories of witness, stories of faith, stories of survival and stories of activism. They make us proud.  My plan is to honor these women by translating  these stories into a printed collection of free verse poems and by creating a choreo-poem that can be performed at colleges and schools throughout the country. The project is underway but I need your help to see it through to the end. Your donation will allow me to get a recording device, provide funding for travel and technical assistance, and it will help cover publicity and publication costs. Please support this local effort with national impact! Thank you so much!
