Anita Foeman – Diversity: Using a Balanced Hand in These Fraught Times

The labels that define us often divide us. But what if your DNA could change the conversation about identity and race? One professor and her students are proving it can. Did you know that all humans at 99.9% identical in their genetic makeup. Differences are only 0.1%!  In this episode, host CMA’s David Ciullo discusses, with Anita Foeman, PHD, Director of the DNA Discussion Project and author of the book “Who Am I”, an optimistic way to discuss Diversity: Using a Balanced Hand in the Fraught Times.  The DNA Discussion Project encourages the community to talk about diversity in a new, positive, and engaging way. Ancestry stories focus on the 99.9% of what we all have in common while addressing the 0.1% appropriately.
