Show Notes
Ok baes, y’all might wanna take notes this episode! Today, we’re talking to with Dr. Janina Jeff, an American geneticist and host of In Those Genes podcast, a show that explores the link between genetics and Black culture. We get into how trauma can imprint on DNA, how the effects of slavery still linger, why the future of DNA testing (also known as genetic testing) could get messy, and what this all means for Black Americans trying to figure out ~exactly~ who they are.

Let’s really talk about the complexities of venerating and working with “white ancestors” and which people need to be prioritizing it before US. We get into the Black healing tradition of Vick’s Vaporub and how it was actually stolen from a Black woman, and why we should all be paying attention to the Caribbean island of Bonaire, right now.
Esu is not the devil, Black women are the mules of the world, but it doesn’t mean we have no responsibility to address social issues and on top of that, the ginger ale ain’t got no ginger in it!!! Are we good?
I’m not going to lie ya’ll, I’m venting alot because where we are as Black people in this time has me completely shook. We are now asserting that the transatlantic slave trade wasn’t real and claiming we don’t have African ancestry. IS EVERYBODY OK?
