Roots to Glory Tours is dedicated to returning the brothers and sisters in the Diaspora back to the African continent. Our focus is on the preservation of African history, culture, heritage and customs.
Walking in the communities, mingling with the locals, getting to know the people truly satisfies something deep in their souls, strikes a chord of ancestral memory and breeds a sense of oneness.
The Embassy Ancestral Re-Connection Program gives opportunities to Africans in the Diaspora who have taken their DNA test to familiarize themselves with the Diplomatic Mission which represents their country of origin.
