Adrienne’s maternal grandmother is named Carmen Zayas.
This one was completely, she didn’t understand the overwhelming majority of admixture in Hispanic nations in the new world is of Iberian dna.
Her maternal grandmother was Carmen Zayas y Garcia, daughter of Margaro Zayas Rosado and Carmen Garcia Otero (daughter of Jose Garcia and Carmen Otero).

According to census they’re white, but according to draft records Margaro was black.

Wait, no, scrath that. That might not be her. Her name was Carmen Zayas, but I’m not sure if that’s her on that census.
Adrienne stated her mother was 40% African on The Real.
Reminds me of Ashley Tisdale
She reminds me of Alexa PenaVega. I still find it difficult to tell them apart
She’s tri racial being dominant European and native. 85 percent. She seems to have had a great, great grandfather or mother which is 1/16, 6 percent. She is 7 percent African. Puerto Rico had many african slaves so perhaps She got her African ancestry there.
@cwm85 She could have gotten the African admixture from when the black African Moors conquered Spain and ruled over them for hundreds of years before slavery.
