Stephanie Renée to Share Her DNA Journey

Stephanie Renee, an award-winning broadcast producer and writer, will present her Nelson County family DNA and genealogy findings at the Nelson County Library in Lovingston on Saturday, May 10 at 1 p.m.
Renée is an award-winning broadcast producer, writer, grassroots organizer, and message crafter with over 30 years of experience in entertainment, journalism, and public policy. It was this experience in media, along with her passion for genealogy, that prompted her to explore creative writing and filmmaking as the vehicles through which she could begin to tell her family’s stories. Her presentation is sponsored by the Nelson County Historical Society.
Renée served as Program Director and on-air host of “The Mojo” at WURD Radio Philadelphia from 2012 until October 2018. She was able to bring her listening audience along on the ride as she received her DNA results and began to understand what those results meant for her family research.
The short film clips that she shot during her first visit to Nelson County in 2017 in search of answers have evolved into a much more interactive community for sharing genealogical findings. Renée now continues sharing through The DNA Journey blog on social media platform Substack, and via her episodic video series of the same name.
A question-and-answer session will follow her presentation.
