LisaRaye McCoy is an American actress, model, businessperson, and fashion designer. She has also been credited as LisaRaye, LRaye, LR, and LisaRaye McCoy–Misick.
LisaRaye is the daughter of Katie, a model, and David Ray McCoy. Her half-sister through her father is rapper and actress Da Brat.
She has a daughter, model Kai Morae, with her former partner Kenji Pace.
LisaRaye’s daughter Kai is sometimes said to have Irish and Native American ancestry. It is not clear if this is accurate.
LisaRaye’s paternal grandfather was Jesse McCoy (the son of Frank McCoy and Annie Kidd). Jesse was born in Alabama.
LisaRaye’s paternal grandmother was Violee Byrd (the daughter of Tom Byrd and Eloise Peters). Violee was born in Mississippi.
Personally, I can really see all three ancestries in her, even Native.
I agree with ethnic. As an AA many people think that I am mixed, but I am not.
@Rw,that’s just because you may not fit their Idea of what a AA is supposed to look like.Others on here try that,by stating unless you have real dark skin or a certain type of hair etc, then you not AA
Her wikipedia page says she is of African-American, Irish, & Native-American descent.
When i posted this, i put that she is african american, irish, and native american. im the one who put it on wikipedia. i dont know why this website changed my answer.
NO YOU LIE
WIKIPEDIA
SAYS
LISA RAYE IS AFRICAN AMERICAN
and part NATIVE AMERICAN
–
NOT irish – stop lying
nobody said anything about irish in her wikipedia
Wikipedia is not a reliable source. That is why Ethnic never uses it
Lol Ethnic celebs isn’t a reliable source either.
McCoy is an Irish or Scottish name. She does look mixed.
are you sure i think she could be mixed
so could many African Americans.
that’s true,and the way things are looking,there’s going to be a whole lot more
