Leona Lewis
The “Bleeding Love” singer was born in London, but raised by an Afro-Guyanese father named Aural Lewis. He, along with Leona’s mother, Maria (of Welsh, Irish and Italian descent), made major sacrifices to help their daughter cultivate her singing talents, making cutbacks where they could so that they could afford to have her attend prestigious theatre schools and more.
