If anyone reads this, she has claimed that her dad is Arab while her mother has “Black, Italian and Indian’ heritage, but that she has no clue just how much “Indian” ancestry she has. And other times just stated to have “Arab, black and Italian” ancestry.
The “Indian” comment on her ancestry can be ambiguous because in America, “Indian” can mean Native American or East Indian.
On her Q&A video at around the 7:42 mark where she mentions the “Arab, black, Italian and possible Indian” heritage:

And on Twitter she claims to be just “Arab, Black and Italian” in ancestry:

Other sources just say she’s African American & Arab (Yemeni) descent, so I don’t know…
A woman named Naija is not Nigerian???
She used to live in Michigan. I don’t know if she was born there.
