Knowledge Of Self

Donation protected
As many of you know, I have recently completed my Masters of Arts Degree in Theories of Urban Practice at Parsons the New School for Design.

For my graduate research I focused on the role of culture, race and ethnicity in urban life. I advocated for the right to difference and how important it is to not only recognize our differences but also have culture play a larger role in coproducing the public realm.

In honor of all the recent changes in my life: getting my masters of arts degree, moving to Portland, OR, my recent engagement; I want to find out more about my past and where my family came from.

As a daughter of the African diaspora and a descent of the transatlantic slave trade, I often feel lost when discussing my ancestry. Before I marry the most amazing man Rob Lewis, I would love to spend some time researching my family's history.

Your small donation will allow me to take a genetic testing to determine the country or region of my ancestors.

MatriClan Test Kit $299.99 from africanancestry.com . This will allow me to find my mother's mother's mother's line (going back 500-2,000 years).
