I just don’t see it. To me you’re just crazy.

I not saying she does have any recent African ancestry, because I do not know. However you putting that video up, proves absolutely nothing. I mean LeVar Burton is 25% white , I don’t see it but it’s there.
LeVar Burton does not look fully West African. I don’t think it’s a big deal he is 1/4 British/Irish, at least judging from the pic he has on this site.
Personally, I don’t think her mother is 100% Italian. But that’s just based on looks.
