News & Politics
African Ancestry recently reached out and invited me to take one of their DNA tests, where they use the world's largest database of African DNA lineages to help determine your country and ethnic group of origin. I wanted to share the process of submitting the test before sending it off and getting your results.
I took the Matriclan test, which pulls from your Mother's DNA line to determine your origins. I'll have my results in about 8 weeks, so I'll report back when they come in.
UPDATE: Check out Part Two, where I reveal my results.
Lisa Swyer lived her entire life as a white woman until a DNA test shattered her sense of identity. In her early 40s, the kit revealed that she had African roots, which ultimately led to her mother to privately admitting that she had an affair with a Black man. Lisa joins our episode titled “My Family Secret” to talk about how her life has changed since discovering the truth.
