About Event

​Join Dr. Jeff and the kinkofa team bi-weekly for a talk back on the latest episode "In Those Genes" Season 2. We'll discuss how each topic intersects with the family history discovery. Catch us live on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube!

​Season 2, "She Get It From Her Moma”, builds on Season 1 and asks the central question - “Is it genetic?!”

​Episodes in this season focus on understanding the origins of long-held beliefs about inheritance within the Black community that, in some cases, are and are not supported by genetics.

​For example, one of our favorite episodes, “Black Don’t Crack,” will explore prolonged aging and will take a deep dive into the “fountain of youth” using a genetic lens. Additional episodes will cover the genetics of rhythm, athleticism, and body shape while simultaneously learning the history of how these traits became racialized.

​Episodes are released bi-weekly. Listen here, Spotify, or Apple Music.
