Road Tour — Day Eight — Washington DC
Finally! Our hometown stop. I was really looking forward to the DC event. We’d have our African Ancestry family, great reveals, Step Afrika!, an African deejay from ARK Jammers, catering by Tropical Fusion, and the Embassy of Nigeria. A night to remember for sure.

Barbara Harrison found her maternal ancestry in Guinea-Bissau! There were plenty of “cousins” in the audience to welcome her into the family.
Egypt? Ethiopia? … Nope, Nigeria! Carla Hall found her maternal ancestry right at home in the Embassy of Nigeria. Amazing.
Ralston had been sitting on his MatriClan Test Kit for two years. I guess it’s because he knew where he was from. Ralston guessed correctly…Guinea-Bissau and Sierra Leone…”Give Us Free!”
Home is a special place. Our DC-based African Ancestry team got a chance to be involved in the Road Tour and I got to see my best friend, Gina and her mom!
We are fortunate to have tremendous partnerships with different kinds of African-focused organizations. Thank you to Step Afrika! and ARKJammers for helping us to celebrate our cultural connections to Africa.

This little guest danced the night away! She Is Africa! Do You Know?
