'Chilli' of TLC

In the 90s, she was part of one of the biggest r&b groups. As the subject of a feature article in "Today's Black Woman", who knew Rozonda Ocelean Thomas is "Indian" on both sides?

She graduated from B.E. Mays High School. Her father, Abdul Ali, was of East Indian descent and her mother, Ava Thomas, is of African American and Native American descent.  Thomas, who had been raised by her mother, later allowed the Sally Jessy Raphael television talk show to air footage of her meeting her father for the first time in 1996.

Since the death of group member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes in April 2002, Thomas and Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins have occasionally performed as a duo.
