Zoë Yadira Saldaña Nazario was born in Passaic, New Jersey, from a Dominican father and a Puerto Rican mother. The actress on several occasions has talked about her race and how she grew up speaking in Spanish and English. “There’s no one way to be black. I’m black the way I know how to be,” she shared with Allure Magazine
