Over the summer during my family reunion in Las Vegas, I participated in a Facebook Live (linked here) event with African Ancestry and Dr. Paige, wherein my family took a DNA test during our conversation. We ended up doing one test for each of my great grandparents: my great grandmother’s MATERNAL line & my great grandfather’s PATERNAL line. It was amazing and I was so honored to be able to share with the African Ancestry family that experience during our family reunion.
Dr. Paige, not too long ago, came to do an IN-PERSON African Ancestry DNA reveal for my family. It was AMAZING. Such a wonderful time for finding out who, what, how and where we were BEFORE the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Before our ancestors were captured and brought AGAINST THEIR WILL to America – that is what we found out on that very day. I am so excited and proud. I feel like my ancestors are all smiling down on me DAILY and that they are so pleased with me for making sure my family got to experience such a monumental moment. TOGETHER.
As ALWAYS, I am so grateful and so humbled by your support and encouragement. You are a blessing to me. Hand Me My Purse is exactly what it is and will grow to become something FAR BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS - ALL because of your simple, consistent and intentional acts of kindness. I pray God blesses each and every one of you immensely. I appreciate you and love you so much for your support.
