  • While it is a joy to see the Diaspora reconnect with continental roots, DNA testing for ancestry is kind of deceptive. It can only trace two lines: mother's mother's mother (mitochondrial), or father's father's father (Y-chromosome). Too often we end up in Europe due to widespread rape, or ignoring thousands of Great grandparents. It's just pattern proximity.

    Still, it's good to see people excited about reconnecting to Africa. Just go inside and seek your ancestors, the way they did it.

  • Awww she's from sierra loan & Liberia( kru tribe). lol I know she's fiesty because of her kru side.

  • @Sharayai You should get it done! It's great it can teach you something about yourself you never knew. Yes the spanish language actually has some arab, words history in it..

  • @bajanboy883  that's cool, and no I didn't know Spaniards were mixed with North African; learn something new everyday. You make me want to get one of these test done.

  • @Sharayai However the Morroccan, and Egyptian I believe comes from the Spaniard slave owners, you know Spaniards are mixed with north African.

  • @Sharayai Thank You, Nigeria Ibadan(Yoruba), (Bambara)West Africa, (Bamoun), Cameroon, Luhya Kenya, Namibia, Oromo Ethiopia, Morrocco, and Egypt...

  • @bajanboy883 Really interesting, but not impossible. What ethnic groups?

  • @gsm73 well I got my DNA test and it says that I have west african, east african, south african, and north african ancestors so that's not true

  • India Arie looks like she just came from Africa.

  • @chsn09 Um....no. She's black.
