    compilation CD, DVD, 20-city
    international tour, calendar,  
    interactive website, video game,
    reality TV, anthology,
    undiscovered talent, spoken
    word, and an infomercial have
    in common?
Purely Social Entrepreneurship!  With the
pure intent to harness the growing popularity
of Spoken Word/Performance Poetry into a
blend of altruism and marketing that will help
build effective African American communities,
The Master Griot Project™ uses the great
artistry and words of master level
performance poets with varied styles and
ages to market the diversity and viability of
spoken word to audiences ages 12 to 55,
advertising and marketing agencies,
institutions of learning and cause-driven
movements.
