Summary

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.
