Description: Ancestry and DNA testing is one of the fastest growing consumer markets. Over 26 million people have access to their DNA profiles, but understanding these profiles is complicated -- especially if you're a descendant of enslaved people. To highlight it’s complexity, Azie (who has taken over 5 DNA tests) explains her results with help from Dr. Joe Hanson of It's Okay to be Smart. Together they explain the science behind determining your skinfolk from your kinfolk. #AfricanAncestry #DNAtesting #Geneology WATCH MORE SAY IT LOUD: Is this Ratchet or Runway: youtu.be/kfpHdgnVT2M Are You Black or African American: youtu.be/WDJsC_Fwcvk How Do you Define Black Pride?: youtu.be/J3Dx6LBLYDA ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FROM JOE: Genetic Study reveals surprising ancestry of many Americans: sciencemag.org/news/2014/12/genetic-study-reveals-surprising-ancestry-many-americans Genetic Ancestry Tests Don't Change Your Identity: nytimes.com/2018/11/19/magazine/dna-test-black-family.html Users of home DNA tests "cherry pick" results: theguardian.com/science/2018/jul/01/home-dna-test-kits-race-ethnicity-dna-ancestry Follow us @SayItLoudPBS Twitter: twitter.com/SayItLoudPBS Instagram: instagram.com/sayitloudpbs Facebook: facebook.com/SayItLoudPBS
