She is biracial. Half black. She is one of the mixed set who can pass for white. Pics of her when she was little show, she had dark, very curly hair. She was also a bit darker. She appaently bleached her skin a little. It works in her interest though to be portrayed as blond and white.
The pics were part of her bio on E! Hollywood true stories.

Her dad is Lionel Ritchie...so whatever he is I guess, he looks black, but not African. And I don't think he's Sheila E's brother.

Hmmm. I don't think you're supposed to say black anymore..I think she has swahili ( african american ) genetics along with
some sort of mexican.. That's what (I think) I read in a book somewhere

Yeah, she fights it though. Sista needs to gain some weight thought.

No she's beige. But if you mean of African descent, the answer is no. Her father is Lionel Richie, but she's adopted.

She is bi-racial. I would guess half black half white. She is beautiful.
