The Black female character most often meant by this question is Sheva Alomar, a BSAA agent who serves as Chris Redfield’s partner in Resident Evil 5. Capcom’s official timeline places the game’s story in the Kijuju Autonomous Zone in March 2009, and Sheva is one of the main characters listed alongside Chris, Jill Valentine, and Albert Wesker. Capcom’s official materials describe her by her African birth and her BSAA service, so that is the basis for the answer here.
Who Sheva Alomar is
Sheva’s name is Sheva Alomar. She is not Jill Valentine or any other character from the series. Capcom’s Resident Evil 5 manual, published for the PS3 edition, introduces her with the line “Welcome to Africa. My name is Sheva Alomar,” and gives her official profile as “A BSAA agent born in Africa.” (Capcom Resident Evil 5 manual)
The same manual rates her combat skills as excellent and her agility as exceptional. It also presents her difficult past fighting bioterrorism in her homeland as the motivation behind her work in the field.
Her role in Resident Evil 5
In the game, Sheva is Chris Redfield’s mission partner. Capcom’s official timeline says Chris arrives in the Kijuju Autonomous Zone to investigate a bio-weapons black market, and that is where the two of them work together. (Capcom Resident Evil timeline)

Her backstory as Capcom presents it
Capcom’s Chris Redfield feature says Sheva lost both parents in a bioterror attack, and that her resolve helps rekindle Chris’s optimism. (Capcom Chris Redfield feature) Her background also connects her to the organization’s regional operations. Capcom’s BSAA archive identifies Sheva and Josh Stone as members of the BSAA’s West African branch. (Capcom BSAA archive)

Where this answer applies
This answer concerns the video-game continuity. Capcom’s timeline separately identifies the parallel-world live-action films, so readers should not assume that every film or adaptation uses the same characters or the same story. (Capcom Resident Evil timeline)
All biographical details above are fictional canon details from Capcom’s own materials. The quoted manual lines come from the PS3 edition manual, and the official sources cited here do not provide a real-world person behind the character.
