Long before the world knew her name, this celebrity was just a little girl trying to make sense of where she belonged. Born into a biracial family in Los Angeles, her early years were shaped by contrasts — of race, class, and circumstance.Although her home life was filled with love, she quickly became aware that she didn’t quite fit into the world around her. “My dad is Caucasian and my mom is African American.

Where’s her mom?'” she recalled.
