She is of mixed African and Indian descent, or Dougla, born to an Indo-Trinidadian father and an Afro-Panamanian mother. In 1985, at the age of six, Tatyana began her acting career as a regular performer on the PBS children’s educational program Sesame Street. She made her breakthrough in 1990 when she was cast as Ashley Banks on the NBC television sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, a role she played throughout the series’ entire run, from 1990 to 1996. Her vocal talent was featured on several episodes of Fresh Prince in later seasons, prompting the show’s star Will Smith to ask her if she would seriously consider pursuing a musical career. In the series’ final season, however, Ali performed several songs, and she began to be clean for her musical debut. The culmination of this was her debut album Kiss The Sky in 1998. 

Who Is  Muhammad Ali? 

Muhammad Ali, also known as “The Greatest,” was an American boxer and activist who is considered one of the most important sports figures of the 20th century. Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, he started boxing as an amateur at the age of 12 and went on to win a gold medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics in the light heavyweight division. He turned professional later that year and became the world heavyweight champion at the age of 22 after defeating Sonny Liston in a major upset.

In 1964, Ali changed his name from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali after denouncing his birth name as a “slave name.” He also became a Muslim and was initially affiliated with Elijah Muhammad’s Nation of Islam, but later disavowed the group and adhered to Sunni Islam. In 1966, Ali refused to be drafted into the military due to his religious beliefs and opposition to the Vietnam War. He was found guilty of draft evasion and stripped of his boxing titles, but he appealed the decision to the Supreme Court and his conviction was overturned in 1971. During this time, Ali did not fight for almost four years and lost a period of peak performance as an athlete.
