Our desire is to be a place that is intentional in connecting to our neighbors and our products. A place to encourage those that want to be simple, healthy, and aware. Harper- 19th century bold abolitionist, poet, lecturer
and Fannie Lou Hamer- 20th century outspoken civil rights activist

, known to sing in the presence of injustice

"I spoke of Free Produce, and now by the way I believe in that kind of Abolition. Oh, how can we pamper our appetites upon luxuries drawn from reluctant fingers. Oh, could slavery exist long if it did not sit on a commercial thrown? I have reason to be thankful that I am able to give a little more for a Free labor dress, if it is coarser. I can thank God that upon its warp and woof I see no stain of blood and tears; that to procure a little finer muslin for my limbs no crushed and broken heart went out in sighs. If the liberation for the slave demanded it, I could consent to part with a portion of the blood from my own veins if that would do him any good" -Francis E.W. Harper

"I am sick and tired of being sick and tired." -Fannie Lou Hamer

"You can pray until you faint, but unless you get up and try to do something, God is not going to put it in your lap."-Fannie Lou Hamer

Hey yall! The investing journey has been dope! Really excited to open up d'griot at its fullest --> a community wellness cafe! (in the late Maplewood Nutrition location) Many thanks to folks that have participated and shared the campaign.
We have a few big investor agencies wanting to participate in this journey but want to see more community support and need some more docs from me! So we will be extending the time a bit :) Please consider investing, and if interested in learning more, DM me for a call!

We have officially launched our wellness products; organic, local farms and makers... currently in stock are loose herbs, tea blends, essential oils, salt baths, butters, salt scrubs, soaps with herbs/seamoss/sheabutters, healing salves from local herbs, jewlry, and adinkra cards
