iGrawe Story Labs
Immersive story spaces where African children, youth, and elders imagine, heal, and grow together.
iGrawe Story Labs are narrative-based wellbeing spaces. Through carefully curated African stories, children and youth practice emotional literacy, social skills, problem-solving, and cultural pride—while elders keep memory and wisdom alive.
Inside an iGrawe Story Lab
Children, youth, and elders sit together in a circle of words, questions, and quiet. Stories become mirrors, windows, and bridges between worlds.
Corners Under iGrawe Story Labs
Each Corner is designed with a specific group in mind, while keeping the whole community in view. Children, youth, and elders all have a place—and their voices matter.

Youth Corner
Narratives exploring growth, purpose, belonging, and real-life challenges facing young people today.

Elders’ Corner
Wisdom, memory, and storytelling that anchor culture and guide generations.
