Straight Talk: The African Ancestry Identity Experience
Join the CT Science Center for another amazing, interactive discussion on some of today’s hottest topics led by esteemed guest, Dr. Gina Paige, CEO & President of African Ancestry Inc. Our roots are the foundation of our family trees. They help define who we are and where we’re from so that we enhance the course of our futures. However, most African Americans are at a loss due to the breach in heritages and connections upon arrival on enslaved Africans to America more than 400 years ago.
AfricanAncestry.com was created to help people of African descent pinpoint missing pieces of their identities using genetics. African Ancestry’s Co-founder, Dr. Gina Paige explores the important role that identity plays in the holistic wellness of Black people today and how genetics can be used as a tool to empower us through knowledge of self. In a lively, interactive exchange, Gina covers family trees, DNA, and cultural and historic nuances that provoke new thoughts on who we are in today’s America and the world.
