YO RUN IT BACK, THIS IS FAR FROM OVER

The Quest To Find My Ancestral Origins In Africa, And Why This Pisses Some People Off.



 In this episode of the Deron Harris Podcast, Deron shares his very personal search for belonging as he traces his lineage through DNA testing and personal reflection.

 "After receiving the results of a DNA test that revealed Portuguese and Spanish ancestry, I felt a strong desire to trace my African roots, particularly on my father's side. The results were unexpected, indicating a lack of African male lineage, which left me questioning the completeness of the information."

Deron emphasizes the importance of understanding our origins, especially for Black Americans whose histories have been disrupted by slavery. "I believe that knowing where we come from is crucial for our identity and connection to our communities." Deron discusses the anxiety and depression he experiences, which have led him back to therapy, and encourages listeners to seek help if they are struggling.

Throughout the episode, Deron Harris reflects on the societal pressures and misconceptions surrounding race and heritage. Sharing his frustrations with friends who dismiss the significance of tracing our roots and highlight the need for open conversations about race and history.

"I appreciate the allies who stand in solidarity with marginalized communities."

As Deron plans his next steps, he discusses various resources for DNA testing and intends to take additional tests to gain a clearer picture of his ancestry.

"I invite listeners to join me on this journey of discovery and encourage them to explore their own heritage. Ultimately, I want to foster a sense of connection and unity within our communities, emphasizing that understanding our past is vital for our future."
