Follow Your Roots

Get your Genographic kit and find out how you ended up where you are today. The Genographic Project, through DNA studies, can trace our ancestral migratory routes. In the end or in the beginning, the project is showing that the gene pool ground zero is in East Africa. As a result, your safari to Tanzania or other countries in the region is actually a return trip to our ancestral home. I will share the results of my particular ancestral route when I receive them. When rafiki Alex from Tanzania calls me Ndugu, it carries a much deeper significance for me. The word Ndugu in Kiswahili means brother/sisterhood.
