To Ethnic do you know what country in the west indies she is from? jamaica, trinidad, barbados, grenada, dominica, st lucia? which country?
That seems to be difficult to clarify at the moment. We can be sure that she has West African heritage though.
her dads half trini n half african…. so shes trinidadian :)
She’s definitly mix with black, mexican, and filipino. Its more than ovious!!!
She’s gorgeous by the way! wow!!!
HelloKitty you posted pictures of East Africans. They weren’t involved in the slave trade, West Africans were. Honestly feel as if she has been trying to make herself look blacker than she really is b/c that is her target audience. I think she looks more Filipino than anything but you can see the other ethnicities too.
Axxx, SHe looks more filipino and mexican!!! with a pinch of black. Very pretty girl by the way.
