GRIOTS REPUBLIC - An Urban Black Travel Magazine - June 2016

Archivists Note
Hello Readers!
Let’s talk about the past, present, and future...
PAST
Hands down, the Haiti Issue was our most read and
most shared issue thus far! Readers loved reading
about Haitian Vodou and the country’s “cursed
narrative.” They loved the travelers we profiled in this
issue and the Haitian destinations our writers talked
about. The most common feedback we received was
“Wow. I didn’t know about ______.” That, ladies and
gentlemen, is music to our ears.
Editors Note
So while we say “goodbye” to our May issue and say
“hello” to June, we wanted to say thank you to the
contributors who make it happen and to the readers
who make it worthwhile. We hope to continue bringing
content that you enjoy.
FUTURE
I saw a meme a few weeks ago that said “If you’re
dreams don’t scare you, then they’re not big enough.”
I immediately started laughing because that’s exactly
where we are right now. We have some big plans and
our only saving grace is that we are supported by a
very active and vocal community of travelers and
readers who have become invested in Griots Republic.
I’m talking about you, by the way!
We’ve created a short survey to capture your opinions
and suggestions on the direction of GR and if you have
the time, then we’d appreciate you taking it.
