Does Yamiche Have a Child?
Most celebrity journalist usually use their social media platforms to update their followers on milestones in their private lives like welcoming a child, an anniversary, and for some, details of vacation trips, however, Alcindor does not seem to count among that lot, she is one of those private ones who would rather keep the identity of their family members private, thus making it difficult to answer the question of whether or not she has a child. The journalist has never revealed whether or not she is a mother to any child.
Who Are Yamiche Alcindor’s Parents?
Yamiche Alcindor has also kept the identity of her parents away from the media. It is however an established fact that they are Haitian natives with her father hailing from Plaisance while her mother is from Saint-Louis-du-Nord. Her Haitian-born immigrant parents would have her in Miami, Florida on November 1, 1986.
Alcindor credits her culturally authentic Haitian upbringing for shaping who she has become. She is fluent in Haitian Creole and also has basic French skills. Her parent obviously placed value on her education as she went on to college, earning a bachelor’s degree in English and government with a minor in African-American studies at Georgetown University in 2009.
The journalist once said in a tweet posted in 2016 that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was her father, however, she pointed out that it was only a joke and that they were both in no way related. The ace journalist could pull off the joke because she shares the same surname with the basketball legend who shined in the NBA from the late 60s to the late 80s. Abdul-Jabbar name at birth was Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr.
And now my dad Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, @kaj33, got jokes.
(P.S. Just kidding. Not related.)

The NBA legend changed his name after he converted from Catholicism to Islam during the summer of 1968. He began using his Islam name in 1971.
@yamiche Nice report on Disrupt with @finneyk. Gotta ask, are you related to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? #ZimmermanTrial

Back in 2013, a Twitter user had asked if she was ever related to the former NBA player and her 2016 tweet was an answer to that.
