DALLAS Community DNA Pop Up

DALLAS Community DNA Pop Up

Overview

A free community experience bringing together genealogy, genomic health, family history, culture, wellness, and reconnection

What if one community experience could help you discover where your family came from, understand what may run in your family, and use that knowledge to help shape healthier generations ahead?

AfriGenetry Link invites you to the AGL Community DNA Pop Up Event, a free, interactive heritage and health experience created with Africans and people of African descent at its heart.

This is a space for Africa and its global diaspora to explore heritage, health, identity, family connection, and reconnection together, while welcoming the wider community to participate, learn, and connect.

The experience begins with three powerful questions:

WHO AM I?

WHERE DO I COME FROM?

WHAT RUNS IN MY FAMILY?

Participants will move through an interactive journey exploring DNA, ancestry, genealogy, family connections, genomic health, family health history, inherited risk, prevention, culture, and community.

THE EXPERIENCE

STATION 01: WHO AM I?

Explore DNA, identity, and what makes your family story uniquely yours.

STATION 02: WHERE DO I COME FROM?

Move beyond percentages toward relatives through genealogy, family history, heritage, and reconnection.

STATION 03: WHAT RUNS IN MY FAMILY?

Explore family health history, inherited risk, prevention, and why knowing your family's health story matters.

This is more than an event.

It is a journey from percentages to relatives, from family history to healthier futures, and from disconnection to reconnection.
