Of The Fugees, only Pras Michel and Wyclef Jean are Haitian. She's American, from NJ. When she refers to herself as being a "child of former slaves", I assume she means that as a black women she has African ancestry dating back to the times of pre-abolition slavery in the U.S.

Irony? Her first solo album was titled "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill"
