Yes, Zipporah is often identified as a Cushite due to her descent from Cush, which is associated with regions in Africa. In the Book of Numbers (12:1), she is described as the wife of Moses and is referred to as a Cushite woman, which has led to interpretations that she may have been of African origin. However, some scholars debate this classification, suggesting that "Cushite" could also refer more generally to her being a foreigner rather than specifically tied to ethnic background.

Zipporah was Moses only wife.(Exodus 2:21) After that Moses showed willingness to dwell with the man, and he gave Zip‧po′rah his daughter to Moses.At Numbers 12:1 she is referred to as a Cushite.(Numbers 12:1) Now Mir′i‧am and Aaron began to speak against Moses on account of the Cush′ite wife whom he had taken, because it was a Cush′ite wife he had taken.This does not indicate that Zipporah had died and Moses had remarried an Ethiopian woman, as is commonly contended, for although "Cushite" usually refers to Ethiopians, it can also embrace those from Arabia

Moses wife.......Yes. Moses' first wife Zipporah was "Shemitic" (descended of Noah's son Shem). However, Moses married a second time to a woman from Ethiopia (Kush)--whose name is never mentioned. One has to remember that Moses grew up in Egypt. This can be found in the Bible: Numbers 12: 1-15. To correct the above, He married a Kushite woman.
