We invite everyone to join us for the 2024 Capital City Kwanzaa Festival this year at the Greater Richmond Convention Center + 5th & Marshall + Exhibit Hall B
This year’s keynoter is Dr. Gina Paige, Co-Founder of African Ancestry, where black people can discover their African roots through DNA testing. Gina Paige has worked with and revealed the roots of thousands, iconically including Oprah Winfrey, John Legend, Chadwick Boseman, Spike Lee, Condoleezza Rice, iHeartMedia’s Breakfast Club host, Charlamagne Tha God, and The King Family. Featured in hundreds of media outlets, like PBS’ Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and the New York Times, Paige is often a go-to resource for African Diaspora communities including Embassies and government entities.
Attendees who purchase tickets online will be automatically entered into a drawing to win a free DNA test kit to discover their African roots. Says African Ancestry, “Knowing where you are from is key to knowing who you are.”
The festival’s performers are songstress, Kia Bennett, Burning Fire Reggae Band, and, of course, Elegba Folklore Society featuring ngoni, guitar and banjo master, Cheick Hamala Diabate.
