Event Description:
Join us for an extraordinary celebration of heritage, identity, and cultural connection at the Lives in Me Heritage Culture Reveal. This impactful event, part of our first Lives in Me Heritage Festival, brings our community together to witness two of our most recent DNA giveaway winners as they uncover their African ancestry for the very first time.
This year’s Culture Reveal will introduce Jovani and Winston, our 6th and 7th Lives in Me Heritage winners, as they learn the names of their ancestral tribes and regions in Africa. Guided by cultural ambassadors and previous LIMH winners, Jovani and Winston will embark on a journey that connects them with traditions, stories, and the rich legacies of their African lineage.
What to Expect:
- Live Ancestry Reveal – Be part of the life-changing moment as our winners discover their African roots.
- Cultural Celebrations – Experience live music, dance, and storytelling inspired by African traditions.
- Community and Connection – Meet past LIMH winners, connect with members of the African American and African communities, and explore the power of heritage and unity.
Whether you’re reconnecting with your own roots or supporting others on their journey, this event offers a unique opportunity to honor African heritage, build community, and share in the joy of cultural discovery.
