    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.”

    1. ...Correction says:

      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’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.
