You’ll often hear Digi described as a multidisciplinary artist and writer. In her Yoruba Orisa culture, however, her title is more concise. She is known as a Griot. There is no limit to the media that a Griot can master to bring their ancestors’ stories alive for audiences. More than hereditary, a Griot’s stories are written in their blood. Their DNA is an intricate sigil containing the tracks of their ancestors. Griots are believed to be born to relay messages to the world in a way that only their unique incarnation can. No matter what the Griot’s environment, they’ll have a strong compulsion to tell the stories written in their blood.
