    About Us

    AfriGenetry Link is a global nonprofit working at the intersection of DNA education, genomic health equity, identity restoration, and preventive health awareness for people of African descent across the United States, Africa, the Caribbean, and Brazil.

    Less than 3% of global DNA databases represent people of African descent, yet we are the most genetically diverse people on earth. That exclusion means hereditary diseases go undetected in Black families for generations; medications are prescribed that do not work for African genetic profiles; diaspora communities cannot reconnect with their African roots; and individuals navigating identity gaps, adoptees, survivors of child trafficking, and families separated by forced migration have no data infrastructure to find the answers they deserve.

    We close those gaps through the Great Identity and Reconnection Campus Tour; Community DNA Pop-Up Events; DNA on Wheels mobile clinics; the 50-Day DNA Health and Wellness Challenge; Family Reconnection and Identity Support; the AGL Fellowship workforce development initiative; and the TripleH AI-powered Heritage, Health, and Healing digital platform, which is currently in development.

    We serve African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Brazilians, Africans on the continent, adoptees, and diaspora communities globally. We are built on community trust, ethical governance, and the belief that every person of African descent deserves to know who they are, where they come from, and what runs in their bloodline.
