Now that was a party!🎂🙌🏽🎉

AfricanAncestry.com's Co-Founders, Dr. Gina Paige and Dr. Rick Kittles shared lots of laughs and great stories of how for the last 19-years they have defied the odds and have been blessed to impact more than 1,000,000 lives through safely connecting black people with their ancestral lineages through DNA testing, transforming the way Black people view themselves and Africa.

4:12 Drs Paige and Kittles marvel and chuckle at the fact that they have a 19-year old and have managed to beat all of the odds!

15:45 Dr. Gina shares AfricanAncestry.com's significant contribution to the economy in recycling the black dollar by hiring black staff, suppliers, and contractors, when possible.

29:09 Why Dr. Kittles was unapologetic about creating AfricanAncestry.com specifically for black people and what it means for a genetic ancestry tracing company to TRULY understand African DNA?

31:45 Dr. Kittles breaks down the two pillars - the SCIENCE of our genetic variations and the important role that ETHICS plays and ensuring protection against socialization, marginalization, and exploitation of DNA.

35:44 Why Dr. Kittles urges black people to create safeguards and awareness of the democratizing of our DNA and be leery of allowing unlimited access to our health records.

36:50 Dr. Kittles explains why it is important for black people to participate in genetic research.
