I can tell by the name that she’s at least in part of Ibo heritage, the same as my wife’s family. In Nigeria they were the group that allied with the British in the colonial era, accepting Christianity and enthusiastically pursuing British education and commerce. Upon independence, they were brutally treated, many killed, and when that resulted in a civil war for independence, they were crushed, creating a huge diaspora. That diaspora places a great emphasis on education, business and success, and many of their kids turn out just like this apparently talented and accomplished young woman. That their skin color is as dark as any black American disproves the false theory that racism prevents blacks from achieving here.
Interesting info. Part of the fun of FR!
Thank you for that information. I thought she looked Nigerian.

Thanks for identifying her as Ibo. My doctor, a brilliant, perceptive guy, is Ibo, came to America from Nigeria for his MD. I really like him. Family man, precious little kids I ran into one Sunday afternoon. They were coming from church.
Hopefully this young woman has as much going for her.
I had a talented Nigerian friend. American blacks liked him at first because of his skin color, but then hated him because because he wad ambitious, talented, smart, responsible, hard-working, and successful. Sadly, so many American blacks are shameful racists.
