She was born to an African–American father and a Korean Japanese mother, who was adopted by an American service man during the Korean war. There is some debate regarding her mother’s ancestry. It has been written that she is of half Korean descent, while others say she that is of fully Japanese ancestry. Kimora has said that her mother is of fully Japanese descent, and was a war refugee who moved to Korea.
Kimora is married to banker Tim Leissner. She has five children, including two with her former husband, record producer Russell Simmons; a son with her former partner, actor and model Djimon Hounsou; and a son with Tim.

she looks kind of like partially MOngolian ,i mean just looks like
She think she’s sooo black.
I really like this sight. I have to grown daughters who are Afro-American (me the mother) and Nor-Swedish (father). It is nice to see others who are successful and multiracial.
Thank You for having this site available. You should also thank the celebs who let us know who and what they are.
Some mixed people (which is rare) look either totally black, white, asian and so forth. Like Kimora, she looks totally Asian. I would classify her as Asian, because if she was in a group with Full blooded Asian you could not tell if she was mixed. And that is how the world really looks at it, plain and simple. Just like President Obama, he looks totally Black, and he knows it. So it would be stupid for him to run around talking about I am mixed. He has the sense to know how the world sees him, and it is not about denying one side over the other
Black and east asian seem to mix very smoothly. They either end up looking like a tan asian (like Kimora) or a black person with almond shaped eyes (like Ameriie or Crystal Kay). Usually a very striking mix though.
Kimora is ugly. Her neck looks like sausage rolls. However, Amerie and Sharon Leal are gorgeous. (:
