Its very annoying as a black woman to see every pretty black woman called mullata or mixed. Its ridiculous and society is soooo brainwashed. This woman is a Black African plain and simple. STOP mixing people up for no reason.
Her facial features look Caucasian influenced, she obviously has Portuguese admixture as stated!
@Check7t PLEASE stop being Stupid there are millions of black Africans with narrow noses and thin lips, Millions that are 100% African.

She have portuguese, se is Angolan with Portuguese on her….. With colonization born many mixed people ( mestizos ) and they have the last name cuz the ascendence. She can be predominantly black or what you want…. But she do have Portuguese on her. Anyways she is proud of her , of her culture and how and what she is.. And that is the important thing.
She’s ‘Mestico’, that’s the specific ethnic group in Angola of Portuguese descent.
Mesticos are also their own socio-economic class in Angola. They are the political, social and economic elite of the entire population there.
Mesticos are an ethnic group, specially in Africa and Latin America.
Exactly
she didn’t say she has portuguese descendants loool, she just said that angola was colonized by the portuguese and thats where “Lopes” comes from. And whoever wrote the wiki page about her is a retard!
A lot of people of Angola have Portuguese ascendence, in blood, ADN… He is not retard he just wrote what he found about her…. If u have another information tell us but do not insult other for what u think….
