Uh...

Quoting from this interview with Dan Didio:

In addition to Batwoman, Apollo and Midnighter, you’re also introducing a female bisexual African American superhero in Voodoo. Was it a conscious decision to introduce characters from across the LGBT spectrum?

Yes. What we really wanted to do was show the diversity of our audience across the line of our books. Right now we have such a wide fan base and we wanted to create characters and stories that really reflected [that] fan base.


...

Gay League has posed the question of whether Voodoo was previously bisexual, but I'm asking whether they mean Priss at all. Because screw who she screws, since when is she African-American? That and the use of the word "introducing" makes me hope they're introducing a new character as part of Voodoo's support cast.

Tai is right, given her background it's not surprising for her to be very likely of mixed racial heritage (even ignoring the aliens).

(Isn't linking to TV Tropes a lot like offering someone drugs? XD I don't wanna get sucked in again! *clicks link anyway*)
