Brief Explanation

Karen is from Burundi in East Africa, but has lived in London since she was 9 years old. When she receives the envelope with her DNA-results, she doesn’t want to open it. She is not sure that she even wants to know what it says, now that she has finally come to terms with who she is and accepted a heritage which at times has been problematic. After a discussion about biology versus culture, she finally opens the envelope and is releaved to see that her East African heritage is indeed strong, although a few surprises have sneaked in.
