When our ancestors were stolen from Africa, Africa was taken from us. By design and with intention, enslavers stripped away our African identity, from our languages to our customs and traditions, and even our faith. AfricanAncestry.com co-founder and CEO, Dr. Gina Paige, calls this emptiness the Africa Void. It is the hollow state of being without knowledge of or connection to Africa. The outcomes of the Africa Void have been devastating. It is, arguably, the cause of most of the mental, physical, and sociological traumas that we experience/suffer even today.
