Over 97% of Africans and their descendants have never taken a DNA test, not because they don’t want to, but because they lack access. For centuries, the transatlantic slave trade separated millions of people of African descent from their families, cultures, and identities, creating a lasting gap in connection.
This absence doesn’t just delay identity. It delays healing, discovery, and even effective health solutions.
We envision a world where every person of African descent can trace their roots, understand their health, and feel fully connected to Africa and to each other.
🧬 Identity Gap
Millions in the diaspora cannot trace their lineage or reconnect with relatives on the African continent.
📉 Representation Gap
Global DNA databases are heavily skewed, leaving African genetic diversity largely unrepresented.
We’re Changing That.
AfriGenetry Link is the missing link, reconnecting Africa and the global African diaspora through DNA, restoring identity, advancing health, and rebuilding what history disrupted

Our Mission
AfriGenetry Link connects heritage, health, and healing through DNA by empowering African and African diaspora communities with ancestry and genomic health education, expanding equitable access to DNA knowledge and testing, developing the next generation of community genomic professionals, and building partnerships that advance prevention, research, and innovation.
Our Mission Pillars
Our work connects identity, health, and community through DNA. We create access, awareness, and pathways for people of African descent to understand who they are and protect their future.
Heritage, Identity and Ancestry
Reconnecting people to their roots through DNA, helping individuals discover their origins, rebuild family history, and restore a sense of identity and belonging.
Health & Genomics
Promoting awareness of hereditary health risks and encouraging early conversations about what runs in families, using DNA insights to support prevention and informed health decisions.
Equipping individuals and communities with the knowledge to understand DNA, ancestry, and health while developing future leaders through training, education, and capacity building.
Diaspora Reconnection and Global Partnerships
Bridging Africa and people of African descent worldwide through DNA, cultural connection, and shared identity, creating pathways for collaboration, exchange, and long-term impact.
A digital platform connecting ancestry insights, health awareness, healing support, and culturally grounded wellness in one place
