- Leading Female Authority on Genetics Ancestry Tracing Transforms Business, Community Events with Unique Presentations Linking Healthy Identities to Success -

(BLACK PR WIRE) – After pioneering a marketplace, helping 150,000+ families demystify their African roots and educating hundreds on the importance of knowing one’s self, identity expert and AfricanAncestry.com Co-Founder Gina Paige, launches the first of its kind motivational speaker series.

Aligned with a variety of hit genealogy programs such as "Finding Your Roots with Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr." and high-profile events, Paige extends her expertise to businesses, communities, educators and faith-based communities among others. Known for her passion-infused, approachable style, Paige customizes the interactive experience for each audience, ultimately connecting the dots between identity and success.

Sample topics include:
• Using DNA to Demystify Roots and Replenish Identities
• Healthy Roots … Importance of Tracing Family Health Histories
• Entrepreneurial DNA … 10 Traits for Successful Business Enterprises

“It’s no secret that people of African descent are culturally disenfranchised and struggle to piece together where they belong,” said Paige. “I’m committed to giving people tools to channel restored identities into progressive returns in their lives,” said Paige.

Paige’s unique presentations are rapidly growing as powerful tool for organizations interested in enhancing their events and programs while driving attendance, affinity and excitement. Her partner roster includes McDonald’s, the National Association of Black Journalists, United Healthcare, The Congressional Black Caucus, MochaMoms.com, Wells Fargo, Howard University and the Smithsonian Museum of African Art for a variety of activities including:
• Consumer Tours
• Ancestry Health History Webinars
• Conference Workshops
• Consumer Promotions, In-Store Engagements
• Youth/Student Esteem-building Programs
• HR/Employee/Diversity Team-Building Exercises

“I've devoted my career to understanding identity, as well as the psychology of race, racism and their relation to success,” said Dr. Cynthia Winston, Associate Professor in Howard University’s Department of Psychology and an Identity Advisor to Paige. “Gina’s grassroots works augments anything taught in a classroom by propelling positive self-esteem and authentic feelings of belonging,” Dr. Winston added.

Paige speaks in countries internationally including Africa, South America and Europe and has sparked global interest and dialogue on the importance of knowing one’s self. Whether it’s as keynote speaker, workshop presenter or panelist, Paige educates and uplifts audiences and transforms the way people see themselves.
