Birth Name:
Nitara Carlynn Long
Birth Place:
Brooklyn, New York, USA
Ethnicity:
Afro-Trinidadian
She has Afro-Trinidadian Parents but was born in the US. The ethnic group, Afro-Trinidadian is somewhat misleading as a majority of this group has mixed ancestry including Europeans, Chinese, Middle Eastern and Native American ancestry.

Celebrities sharing the same heritage:
Nia herself said her heritage is trinidadian and Grenadian. So no haitian heritage in her background.
Nia’s eyes are gorgeous. They are similar to many Asians. Trinidad has a lot of Chinese-Trinidadias. It’s possible she is of Chinese ancestry. Before someone argues that she just looks black… Black people are so many things.
Nia is a natural beauty. She looks the same as 20 years ago. Her freckles are adorable. Her skin is flawless. She has an amazing glow.
For someone to get upset over the posibility of her being more than Trini is stupid. Trinidadian people can have other nationalities? What if her grandparents went to Trinidad from Haiti. Or a great grandparent could have come from Haiti and married a Trini. We don’t know. That’s the beauty of this diverse world we live in.
That’s no diff from if she has a grand child down the road and someone lists him/her on this site as American w/ possibly Trinidadian decent. And someone says, “Prove he is Trini. Nia is American. Her son is American.”
NIA LONG IS BEAUTIFUL , AND SHE DOES LOOK MIXED, IAM OF MIXED BACKGROUND , FROMS OF BLACK , COME IN MANY DIFFERENT SHADES LETS GET IT TOGETHER PEOPLE , MY FATHER IS SPANISH AND MY MOM IS BLACK, AND MY COMPLEXTION IS YELLOW , GEE GO FIGURE BUT IM STILL BLACK.
It’s funny how she has haitian descent,but,she was born to TRINIDADIAN parents who were also born to TRINIDADIAN parents
themselves,WoW!!.People yuh killin’ me.DO SOME RESEARCH
AND STOP HATIN’.DAMN IGNORANCE IS BLISS.I tell yuh what if she’s
not 100% TRINI-PROVE IT,I WANT FACTS!!.
-IGNORANCE IS BLISS!!
Nia long also has haitian decent.
Its not native american though
We are of Carib Indian descent (a type of Native American) and still have a surviving population of black Carib Indians in Tobago (Europeans classified Carib Indians as Yellow- easy to conquer- and black – kicked their a****). We also have Madrassi Indian (from India) in our bloodline.
Although we are technically of mixed heritage, most of us prefer to be called black and see our “mixed” ancestry as just part of our black beauty.
She aint chinese hell no she black you could tell by her face. Lol
but I agree she’s got chinese eyes, and i wondered if she’s chinese or somethin’
i’m black with a light skin and almond eyes like chinese people,everybody asks me if i have chinese genes, but actully i got my eyes from my mother’s side who is cameroonian from a native cameroonian tribe so … Maybe she hasn’t chinese blood
were a u staying now?
she is q o r q e o u s , i can see the chinese ancestry lookinq at her eyes .
She’s really pretty. I think she looks black only!!!
She’s looks like she has an Asian heritage. Somewhere down the line. Maybe not though. Lots of South Africans without a mixed heritage look the way she does.
I just saw a video on youtube with her and Chris Rock promoting that documentary on African American hair and she is STILL gorgeous!! I mean do she age?!lol
she looks native and maybe some chinese ancesty. he eyes are ery slanted so i believ it.
she is so beautiful
