  • Summary

  • Have you traced your ancestral roots? Regardless of what your answer is, let’s talk about it! In this episode of Parenting Decolonized, I welcome Walter English, an artist and the Founder of Brister English Project, an organization that offers 20 hours of free genealogy work to Black people to help them discover and learn about their hidden roots and ancestors. Listen in as Walter and I talk about the power of genealogy and DNA testing in releasing shame about your family’s history with enslavement. In this episode, we talk about…
    • Walt’s experience learning the truth about his African-American ancestry.
    • How your family history impacts your parenting.
    • Why I decided to get my DNA tested after being resistant to it.
    • Overcoming the resistance to genealogy and using it to learn, liberate, and find pride in yourself.
    • What is the best ancestry/DNA testing company?
    • What to do with your DNA results.
    • ….and more!
