The Griot Eyes Film Club is a 12 week open level class for 7 to 11 year olds and their families.

Join us as we use film as the next vehicle for our diaspora escapes and adventures in self-respect.

Griot Eyes students will learn tools for visual literacy and critical analysis while being encouraged to boldly share their perspectives and experiences.

Thanks to Laura Gayle for designing this class and to African Film Festival New York for supporting our students as they curate the 2nd Annual Griot Eyes Film Festival on December 26th. See you then with your griot eyes…

Rites of Passage is a cultural technology of care and empowerment.

Deep bow to our ancestors for showing us how to help each generation find their voices and their wings, build their character and their skills, nurture their audacity and their goals.

At Ifetayo we combine creative activities, affirming social-pedagogy, and real life-skills to guide youth, 6 to 18 years old, into adulthood culturally coded for success.

This is a free program.
Learn how you can participate at Ifetayo.org/register.

Come for podcasting, stay for career counseling.
Come for support, stay for confidence.
Come for roots, stay for the open sky…
