Many of the world’s thought leaders, influencers, celebrities, dignitaries and other icons such as Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Oprah Winfrey, John Legend, Spike Lee and Condoleezza Rice, have looked to Gina to learn more about their roots.

Gina has also worked with major media companies looking to join the growing trend in genealogy programming.
