28 year old Zoe Kravitz has two famous parents, and also two parents who are mixed race! As the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet she raised eyebrows last year when she said some stuff about her blackness and not really accepting that she was black!

However, she seems to have become a little wiser to the world and in a new interview with Allure Magazine she talks about her evolved feelings after being encouraged to connect more with her black roots by her father. She told the magazine:

“Racism is very real, and white supremacy is going strong. I am definitely mixed. Both my parents are mixed. I have White family on both sides. The older I get, the more I experience life, I am identifying more and more with being Black, and what that means — being more and more proud of that and feeling connected to my roots and my history. It’s been a really interesting journey because I was always one of the only Black kids in any of my schools. I went to private schools full of White kids. I think a lot of that made me want to blend in or not be looked at as Black. The white kids are always talking about your hair and making you feel weird. I had this struggle of accepting myself as Black and loving that part of myself. And now I’m so in love with my culture and so proud to be Black. It’s still ongoing, but a big shift has occurred. My dad especially has always been very connected to his history, and it’s important to him that I understand where I come from.”
