Dr. Gina Paige, co-founder of African Ancestry, Inc., is tracing African lineages using DNA to help Black people in the diaspora find their roots. In tracing lineages from Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, and the east coast of Africa, Paige recently came to the Consulate General of Nigeria in New York to share her findings. She was hosted by Ambassador Abubakar Jidda, Cultural Ambassador Joyce Adewumi, and NYC Commissioner of Youth Keith Howard. The event featured opening remarks from William Conley and Tracy Garcia and performances by Life Camp Drummers and the Healing Drum Collective. Paige used her DNA kit to test some of the people who came to the consulate (Bill Moore photos)
