Her results are strange. She has a big chunk of British and Irish. It might be her mom’s results.
It would make more sense honestly. I believe her Brazilan heritage is false.
No. There are so many people in countries like Brazil who don’t have native heritage so they’ll have tons of Italian or Irish heritage and you wouldn’t tell they’re Brazilian from a DNA test…
maybe it’s clearer this way: https://www.lipstickalley.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FP6PKZqU.png&hash=b830bce7372b6bad13ba6119aa59534e
If it does not work:
*47,8% European
*46,5% African
I am not surprised with her results. She has dark skin but very euro centric features. Even before her rumoured nose job her nose was still narrow.
Any admins who see this, SHE posted her DNA results from myheritage.
Those results were:
47.8% British and Irish
30.1% Nigerian
11.0% Sierra Leonean
5.4% Central African
5.7% Other
This was on snapchat so the picture was deleted from public viewing after a day.
My heritage does not have a huge database for Africans.
Her parents are Cary Danielle (Robinson) and Sean Lamar Tookes.
Her maternal grandparents are Ira L. Robinson and Sharon J. They are pictured here with Jasmine’s mother in the middle: https://www.instagram.com/p/xmxZ-bImb2/?taken-by=mootie713

Quote(Luther says that she has had next to nothing to do with his family)
I didn’t read the story, but I do often see that children tend to drift towards their mothers side of the family
