Before learning about African Ancestry Link, I never realized how much DNA could reveal—not just about ancestry, but also about health. This initiative is bringing valuable education to Africans about genetics, wellness, and heritage. Understanding our DNA can help us make better health decisions, and I’m excited to be part of this journey!

AAL as a nonprofit is not just about DNA testing—it’s about education. Through this initiative, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of African genetics and heritage. It’s inspiring to see how this knowledge is being shared to empower young Africans in the diaspora and on the continent to embrace their history through science!
