Welcome to GAB
Griots and Bards (GAB) is where the intellectual depth of an Oxford debate meets the raw, real-world insights of street corner conversations. Whether at meetups or in the closed community, the GAB platform engages the energy of its people to create synergies across industries and creative interests, with the transformative impact of a group therapy session. The vibrant, in-the-moment exchanges and virtual community engagements spark reflection, connection, social impact but more importantly, individual and communal growth.
GAB is committed to preserving and reimagining African narratives through cross-cultural dialogue, art, and technology. Since 2018, we’ve cultivated a growing community of creatives, professionals, and cultural leaders who share a common goal: using heritage and innovation to shape a better future.
Through hybrid experiences—physical meetups, livestreams, and digital forums—our platform fosters authentic connections and personalized engagement. GAB integrates CRM tools, social platforms, and virtual reality to scale impact and accessibility.
Our mission is to empower emerging voices and foster global cultural dialogue rooted in Africa’s past, present, and future.
