The DNA Gap: Why It Matters

Over 90% of Africans Have Never Taken a DNA Test — We’re Changing That.

Over 90% of Africans and their descendants have never taken a DNA test — not because they don't want to, but because they lack access. This absence doesn't just delay identity. It delays healing, discovery, and even health solutions that work and a stolen right to know who we are and where we come from

🧬 Millions in the diaspora have no ancestral connection, and many Africans born outside traditional family structures face identity crises with no way to trace their lineage.

📚 Without education and outreach, communities stay unaware of how genetics impacts health, heritage, and healing.

 We’re Changing That.

African Ancestry Link is the missing link—where heritage, health, and healing finally meet.

💊 Black communities are vastly underrepresented in global genetic databases and clinical trials. This isn't just exclusion, it's a health risk. Medications developed without African data often don’t work as well for us.

🔬 African researchers remain underfunded, their knowledge and innovation overlooked.
