Over 97% of Africans and their descendants have never taken a DNA test, not because they don’t want to, but because they lack access. For centuries, the transatlantic slave trade separated millions of people of African descent from their families, cultures, and identities, creating a lasting gap in connection.
This absence doesn’t just delay identity. It delays healing, discovery, and even effective health solutions.
We envision a world where every person of African descent can trace their roots, understand their health, and feel fully connected to Africa and to each other.
🧬 Identity Gap
Millions in the diaspora cannot trace their lineage or reconnect with relatives on the African continent.
📉 Data Gap
Global DNA databases are heavily skewed, leaving African genetic diversity largely unrepresented.
💊 Health Gap
African populations remain underrepresented in genetic research, limiting early detection and effective treatment for inherited conditions.
⚖️ Equity Gap
Without inclusion, Africa risks being left out of the future of medicine, innovation, and discovery.
We’re Changing That.
