What a DNA Test Revealed About My Identity as a Ugandan — and a Human

I took an Ancestry DNA test to explore my roots, not just as a person from Ankole in southwestern Uganda, but as a human being shaped by centuries of migration, intermarriage, and unexpected connections. The results surprised me. In this video, I break down my ancestry results and what all this means for how we define identity. We often think of ourselves through the lens of tribe, ethnicity, race, or nationality, but DNA tells a different story. One that’s older, messier, and far more interconnected than we’re taught to believe. If you're curious about your own ancestry or you've ever wondered how genetics can challenge and deepen your sense of identity, this video is for you.
