Pieces of me: Discovering our heritage
Episode Summary
As black women in America, we pretty much know that much of our lineage ties to Africa. But where in Africa? Most Black Americans also find that their family tree extends well beyond Africa . So we decided to take a DNA test to get some answers and to see if any family secrets were revealed. Join us as we explore where we come from and the different tests we used to get the results.
