Zoe Saldana-Perego Research Paper
The Hispanic race has made their imprint on the world. The number of famous Hispanic people is very large. It was hard to pick just one. The person I chose is Zoe Saldana-Perego. I always thought Zoe was African American but she is Hispanic. She has always caught my attention from the first time I ever saw her in a movie. She is beautiful and very talented. She is a dancer, an actress, a mother and a wife.
Although she is amazing, her life story is a very interesting one. She was born Zoe Yadira Zaldana Nazario on June 19, 1978 in Passaic New Jersey to a Dominican father and Puerto Rican mother. She also has Lebanese and Haitian roots. She was raised speaking Spanish and English. She has two sisters, Cisely and Mariel. Her father passed away
