It was hard not to gawk, watching her finish runner up in season 3 (viaLatina).
The beautiful Afro-Latina from Harlem, New York, is undeniably buff.
While the movie was met with mediocre reviews, DaCosta hit it out of the park.
Making the movie challenged DaCosta in part because it hit close to home.
The actress knows what it’s like to lose a family member too early.
We’re eager to see that side of her, too.
Yaya DaCosta is proud of being Afro-Latina
DaCosta comes from a family of activists.
Her father was an organizer with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the 60s.
That’s nothing to scoff at.
DaCosta suggests projects can be made “guerilla-style” (viaNBC Latino).
(If you happen to be planning a trip to Brazil, DaCosta suggests Zaza Bistro in Ipanema.)
And DaCosta has only good things to say about Chicago.
The divorce “could get nasty,” reportedPage Sixin 2015.
Page Sixmay have been correct in reporting that DaCosta split from Alafia, but they were off base otherwise.
That’s because DaCosta swears that she “never married, first of all” (viaMadame Noire).
When she did, Wikipedia apparently resisted changing it, crediting media reports over the actress’s personal assurances.
Wikipedia may not have paid heed to DaCosta.
But they did pay attention toComplex.
After the article was published,Wikipediaupdated its information, citingComplex’sarticle.
It now informs readers that, “Contrary to popular reports, DaCosta and Alafia were never married.”
Glad we’ve finally cleared that up.
