Our Story: Uplyff, Inc was born out of an Afrikan-Centered {jz}Think Tank of Cleveland, OH, which contained residual elements from various activist and cultural arts groups such as the Griot Project. The Griot Project was a group of storytellers who united from a library program called Poetic Power. Poetic Power was named and created by then teen poet Monica Rutledge and the Griot Project performed and hosted arts education programs. {jz} Throughout each group and adventure the overarching mission has remained the same - the 'Uplift' of the Afrikan Diaspora. The Think Tank was founded by Ali Boyd, Shila Iris, Steve Fairley, Kenyatta Crisp,{jz} and Wulfgar Darkenwald, Jr. Over the years, the Think Tank and ultimately Uplyff, Inc. were influenced and educated through {jz}interactions with Jamie Upton of the legendary Timbuktu Book Store of Cleveland, OH; John Omar, the woodcarver; Performing Artist/Stage Writer Charles "Mississippi" Bevel; and Vegan enthusiast Erinn Sneed, as well as members/contributors "Coach" Lucas, Lawrence Clinckscale, Bianca Butts, Edward Hunter, Jade Pratt, Erica Chambers,{jz} Marcus Pittman and Halima Douglass.
