Eusebe was born in England and grew up in Canada with Trinidadian-Dominican heritage.[4] Her mother, a psychiatric nurse "worked two jobs".[5] Eusebe has said: "I was raised with black and white friends. I went to a predominantly white school.... Coming to London changed my black experience. In terms of my Caribbean-ness, it is just me. It is part of me, not all of me."[4] After graduating from the University of Toronto, she gained a master's degree in Philosophy (Ethics) from Birkbeck College at the University of London.[6]
