India Arie
Singer India Arie has always been in touch with her afro-centric side, which has helped her stand out from other artists. Born in Denver, Colorado, she moved to Atlanta with her mother after her parents divorced at a young age. While she knew about her family’s roots here in the U.S., the “I Am Not My Hair” singer was eager to trace her lineage back even further to Africa. DNA tests revealed her ancestors hail from the Mende people of Sierra Leone, the Kru tribe of Liberia and the Fula people of Guinea-Bissau.
