Hennessy Carolina Almanzar was born under the zodiac sign of Capricorn on 22 December 1995, in The Bronx, New York City USA. She is a model, media personality and a reality TV series actress, with four credits to her name, while she’s perhaps best known for her appearance in the reality show “Love Life and Hip Hop: New York”.

Early life, family and education
Hennessy was raised in The Bronx, the most controversial borough of New York City, by her Dominican father Carlos, and Trinidadian mother Clara. They were both hard workers, so Hennessy spent most of her childhood in the house of her grandparents on Manhattan. She has seven siblings, but they prefer to keep their lives private, except for her older sister Cardi-B, a famous rapper and actress. The two of them are very close, and supportive of each other.
Hennessy attended Renaissance High School for Musical Theatre & Technology in The Bronx. Upon matriculating in 2013, she didn’t enrol at college, but growing-up her dream was to become a fashion designer, and she’s currently a student at The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.
Career
Hennessy’s first appearance on TV was in 2016 in a supporting role in the reality show “Love and Hip Hop: New York”, alongside with her sister Cardi-B as her confidante and friend. She left the show to start her career as a stylist and a fashion designer.
In the following years, she competed in the third season of several game shows, such as “The Challenge: Champs vs. Stars” and “Hip Hop Squares”. The former is a game show in which celebrities are competing against pro- athletes for a chance to win money, all of which they donate to charity.
