I thought she was from Guyana?
She said on Twitter that she’s of Indian and Sri Lankan descent.

Jem, that is.
Ah I see. I guess she goes by both then. I was going based off her cast questionnaire:
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of?
I’m super proud of a lot of things – surviving in the US is probably my biggest accomplishment. After I moved here, I had no one to lean on, and I wanted to give up multiple times and go back home to Guyana. However, I stuck it out.
What is something we would never know from looking at you?
That I’m from South America and not Indian 😉
