Darcey Silva Has Rarely Spoken of Her Parents' Ethnicity

For those unaware, Cabo Verde is a Portuguese-speaking island off the northwest coast of Africa. Also known as Cape Verde, it is comprised of ten islands, and Praia, on Santiago island, is the capital of those islands.

A report from ThisIsAfrica says that while most Cape Verdeans are creole, the island has people from across the globe, including immigrants from South America, Asia, and Europe. Hence, Cape Verde is a Sociedade mestiça [mestiça society in Portuguese], which means it is home to mixed-race people.

The previous thread also stated that Darcey's mother, Nancy, is Québécois.
