Archivists Note<br />
As the year continues to move past us at a fevered pace, the Griots<br />
Republic team and you, our faithful readers, have been there for the<br />
entire ride. Griots Republic Magazine has covered undiscovered territories<br />
in music, sex, food, and various destinations all with our signature<br />
flair. Staying true to form, this month we dive into all things<br />
Global Design.<br />
We traveled back to the motherland, Cameroon to be exact, with Kelli<br />
Page Jebrell who takes us on a visual tour of what will soon become<br />
the largest sub-Saharan museum in Foumban, Cameroon (1). Also in<br />
this issue, writer Ebony Chappel snatched the opportunity to talk to<br />
Zimbabwean designer Patrick Simba Chakauya about his footwear<br />
brand Butsu (2). Lastly, our Blogger of the Month, Jessica Nambowa<br />
of “Catch me if you can” discusses her style sensibility and how her<br />
Ugandan heritage and travels influence it.<br />
This issue is packed full of goodies from tiny houses to Maori tattoos<br />
and if interviews with world renowned graffiti artist, Jerry Gant (3),<br />
and interior designer and blogger Justina Blakeney (4) don’t satisfy<br />
your creative curiousity, then perhaps DJ Super Nova (5) will. We<br />
caught him at the tail end of his South Africa tour and hooked him up<br />
with Radio Host Keisha Dutes from TK in The AM on Bondfire Radio.<br />
Listen... they talked about hip hop, travel, the creativity coming out<br />
of Africa and theatre. Yes, theatre! DJ Super Nova is the man bringing<br />
the beats for the upcoming play Othello The Revival, presented by<br />
John Leguizamo, and you must read the article to understand why<br />
you need to buy a ticket.<br />
As always, we hope that you enjoy this issue and we look forward to<br />
hearing your feedback.<br />
