Born as a result of her parents' interracial relationship - her father Kenneth Lane is of an African American ethnicity whereas her mother Judith Tuck is of European Maori descent - the American Honey actress had a far from a beautiful childhood.
In her profoundly personal 2018 essay for the Weathsimple.com, Sasha, age 23, sheds some light on her family's struggle by writing:-
"It was always a constant struggle to make ends meet. We never had money. You learn, as a kid whose family is broke, not to ask for things. You even learn not to want things. Just be happy with the basics you need to survive: food, clothes, and a place to live, which my mom always found a way to provide."
From her parents' divorce to her mother's to make ends meet to being employed by the age of 7, Sasha knows all too well about living within limited means.
A chance meeting with Andrea Arnold, who gave her first ever acting break in American Honey, was all she needed. Despite the fame and burgeoning net worth, the Texas State University attendee has stayed true to her humble upbringing. In the stated essay, she claims:-
"I’m a simple person and I don’t need a lot. As a kid, I built the idea in my mind that I would never waste money on unnecessary things; and now that I have money, I don’t."

By drawing parallels between the stated flick's lead Jane (played by Chloe Grace Moretz) and her, Sasha opened up about her sexuality by saying:-
"The story really hit home for me, coming from a household where my brother’s gay and I’m gay. I liked Jane, who has a free spirit and her own way of thinking. She grew up in a community where everyone was free and lived life in a certain way. Then her mother brought her into a community that was very conservative and unaccepting of her... "
Nevertheless, she hasn't had the best of times in her search of her girlfriend, who always end up trying to include her in threesomes with their boyfriends.
