Naya Rivera is not a Hispanic. Naya Marie Rivera, who was born on the 12th of January 1987, and died on the 8th of July 2020, was given birth to in Valencia, California. She was raised in Valencia and dwelled in or nearby Los Angeles for most of her life. She was of German, Puerto Rican, and African American descent. When the term “Afro Latinx” started trending in the year 2010, she was mostly considered as such. She had her mother to be Yolanda Prevotire, and her father was George Rivera. Her parent had been married since the year 1986, but they divorced themselves in 1996. Rivera was once interviewed about her speaking Spanish. She did respond that she did not really know how to speak Spanish while growing up, but she later learned it so that she would be able to speak it with her children at home. She did not come from a Spanish background.

The terms “Latina” and “Hispanic” are often interchanged with each other. Naya Rivera identifies as “Hispanic” even though she has grown up speaking English. She eventually learned how to speak Spanish better when she grew up. She had a breakthrough project when she appeared on “Glee.” People consider her to be inspirational because of all the things that she has done for the Hispanic community. She showed that it will always be possible for people who are not considered to be “White Americans” to still make it big in their own country. She has also played different roles that are not considered to be usual. Her death caused major sadness among a lot of people especially those who considered her as their inspiration.

The answer to this question actually depends on how you see it. I am not far from the truth if I say Naya Rivera was not Hispanic, especially when you consider the fact that she was born in the United States of America. She was born on January 12, 1987, in Santa Clarita, California. However, there are reports that she had Puerto Rican, African-American, and German origin. With this, I can also say she was Hispanic, though we can't link her directly with Spain.

To prove this further, Naya Rivera revealed, in one of her interviews, that she could speak little of Spanish because she didn't have anyone to speak the language. She further stated that she would improve on her Spanish speaking skills, especially now that she has been blessed with a child. Naya Rivera was declared missing after her only child was found alone on the boat she rented on July 8, 2020, and it took five days before her lifeless body could be found.
