Zoe Kravitz says she didn’t identify with black culture
rollingout.comZoë Kravitz has spoken about her mixed heritage and how she has grappled with her racial identity in the past. In interviews, she has described feeling uncomfortable with her Blackness during childhood and adolescence, and later working to embrace and celebrate her multiracial background. Her father is Lenny Kravitz and her mother is Lisa Bonet, both of whom are of mixed Black and Jewish heritage, which places Kravitz in a biracial/multiracial ethnic context rather than a single, singular ethnicity. She has also discussed how her perspective shifted as she engaged more with Black culture and history over time.
