shes like 20 persent black
Yemenis can be dark
She is english and arab, stupid. north africans arent black
It’s not that. Some North Africans from the south do have a little ssa in them. And besides, Yemen is right beside east africa! Their is a high chance she does have some black in her but can pass off as mostly white or Caucasian.
She is gorgeous! Arabic Beauty!
She is likely of Yemeni descent on her mother’s side; South Shields has a sizable Yemeni community:

She says in an interview “I’m quarter-Egyptian, quarter-Yemeni.”
