About this listen

Join us for an enlightening conversation with Genetic Genealogist Lisa A. Fanning, as she shares her powerful work with the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre DNA Identification Project.

With over 30 years of family history research, Lisa has explored her deep Southern and Midwestern roots, focusing on the histories of enslavement, migration, and Tri-Racial Isolate communities. A descendant of Kate Anderson—born in 1670—Lisa has traced her lineage to early emancipated families in Virginia and free African American settlements in Indiana.

As a genetic genealogist, Lisa lends her expertise to impactful initiatives such as the DNA Doe Project and the Tulsa Race Massacre Project. She serves on the Board of the National Genealogical Society and the leadership team of MAAGI, and has presented both nationally and internationally, including for PBS and the United Nations.

Professionally, Lisa brings three decades of leadership experience from Washington, DC, where she championed diversity and expanded workforce opportunities across the U.S., Africa, and the Middle East. She is also an award-winning photographic artist and currently serves as Director of Culture, Community, and Impact at Indiana Tech. Lisa holds a B.A. in French and an M.A. in Intercultural Communication.
