In 2010, I watched the African American Lives Documentary and learned about African Ancestry and their unique DNA testing kits. I purchased the Maternal test and learned my ancestry traces back to the Balanta and Fula people of Guinea-Bissau. Learning this information led me on a spiritual journey of self-discovery and ancestral devotion. In 2021, I had the opportunity to visit Guinea-Bissau and reconnect with my distant family. That visit healed me and changed my life forever.
