Organization that raises funds to heal, repair and empower the Black community.
True Legacy Foundation™ (TLF™) is a non-profit organization that provides genetic DNA testing kits to African-American youth to reconnect them to their African ancestry that was lost during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Your donation helps African-American youth finally discover and reconnect with their African heritage.
Research has shown that this increases self-esteem, self-confidence, self-pride, self-image, and overall ability to excel in life.
We hope you’ll join us on our quest.
African American youth are the only race of children that have been intentionally disconnected from their ancestral roots. They are also the only race of children that have been wrongfully taught that their ancestors had no history beyond slavery. As a result, many of them grow up feeling inferior to children of other races. Tragically, this lowers their self-esteem, creates a negative self-image and makes it difficult for them to succeed in life.
TLF™ Empowers Black youth from ages 8 to 18, to finally discover the African region that their proud ancestors came from as well as the name of their tribe. We accomplish this by raising funds and providing them with genetic DNA testing kits from AfricanAncestry.com. TLF™ also takes back control of the African American narrative by exposing Black youth to their long and great African history and reclaiming their true legacy.
Knowing your past opens up doors to the future. And research has shown that when Black youth know their family legacy it dramatically elevates their self esteem, self confidence, self pride, self image, and overall ability to excel in life. In addition it makes them feel more connected to their community and society as a whole.
