The National Association of Black Storytellers (NABS) proudly preserves and elevates the rich literary traditions of African and African American storytelling. Our publications honor the voices of our ancestors, celebrate the creativity of today’s griots, and ensure that the
next generation inherits a strong, vibrant legacy.

Here, you’ll find books, publication lists, guides, histories, and cultural resources that keep our stories alive, written with love, crafted with excellence, and grounded
in the living heartbeat of the Black oral tradition.
