Description
We all have a story we grew up with about our background, ancestry, or ethnicity. But how true is that story? Dr. Anita Foeman, Department of Communication and Media at West Chester University had a hunch that a lot of people would be surprised if they took an ancestry DNA test -- and she was right. Dr. Foeman joins KYW In Depth to break down how she started the DNA Discussion Project at West Chester University, the most astonishing things people have found out about themselves, and how the DNA tests are helping make conversations about diversity hit a lot closer to home.The DNA Discussion Project is hosting a virtual conference on Saturday, September 26, 2020 from 11am to 2pm.
