“It’s no surprise to anyone that’s familiar with my work knows that I believe in doing all of the work necessary to find out every morsel of information that I can to learn about where my ancestors came from. Years ago, I had no idea. My first test just gave me a list of countries, including several that were African. Today, I can proudly say that I am from not only the countries in my list, but the specific tribes listed in my report below.
Putting together your family tree is the first step, but once you hit your “Slave Wall” the data just comes to a grinding halt. For a lot of us, the only way to continue the research path and literally “cross the ocean” is to get your DNA tested.
I get asked all of the time about where I got my DNA testing done and how do I know the tribes that I am descended from.
DNA Weekly did a comparison between Living DNA and Ancestry test.
“Every human can trace his or her origins all the way back to Africa, and Living DNA’s Full Ancestry Report arguably provides more detail about your African geographical origins than any other DNA test. It also breaks its ancestry results down into particularly high resolution for other areas, including the British Isles and Europe.” DNA Weekly
I did my testing through Living DNA and am so glad that I did. So, now, through a partnership with Living DNA, now you can get your DNA tested and have a deeper understanding of who your people really are.
Once you learn the African countries and tribes that you descended from, you’ll have the answers to the age old question of where did I come from. It’s the generational gift of grounding in self that you’ve been searching for.
Everything you need to get your Living DNA kit is below. The test is very simple to do. Just do a quick swab of the inside of your cheek and send it in. That’s it! In a few weeks, you’ll open up a new world of information about who you are.
Congratulations for taking the next step towards learning more about your ancestors, who I know are cheering you on.”

A simple mouth swab is all that is needed to start exploring the world of your DNA, looking at ancestry, fitness, nutrition and more.
Traditional DNA test reports have been focused on people with European ancestry. The Living DNA test is specifically for people with African ancestry that offers 72 regions, five times the detail of any other test on the market.
Living DNA researchers have gathered data from across Africa in order to deliver the world’s most advanced product for people with African ancestry to detect the ancestry of African Americans and European Africans who are researching their roots.
The test combines the recent ancestry breakdown (last 1,000 years) with deep direct maternal and paternal histories, as well as rich information about the African regions customers’ ancestors come from covering geography, languages, traditions, and culture.
Typically, customers with African ancestry who take other DNA tests would see their results with 2-3 DNA regions. Living DNA lets customers see their results with an average of 13 regions.
If someone has already taken a DNA test by one of the leading companies they can upload their DNA for free and pay $39 USD to unlock their detailed African Ancestry DNA report.
Living DNA does not sell or share customers’ DNA or data with third parties.
