Storm should have a mixed accent.too many variables Tbh

and there is no such thing as an "African accent" .That pisses me off.It's ignorant,and it's one of the reasons I didn't bag on Halle's portrayal like everyone else.I hate when i hear people say " Storm should sound African"... -________-

Storm's Dad is American,Mom is Kenyan,grew up in Egypt,spent her teen years in Kenya,moved BACK to America(where she was born) Surrounded by other regular Americans.

Storm could sound a number of ways. I say mainly Arabic with a Kenyan/Swahili twist.and maybe slightly less so since she's been living in upstate New York since like what, the age of 19 to maybe what 30+ something.

It's canon that she is fluent in several languages,and some of them are English,Swahili,Arabic and Japanese(?)

also Russian
