Famous model, singer, film producer, dancer, voice actor, film actor, and television producer Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman, better known as Zendaya, was born on  September 1, 1996, in  Oakland, CA. She was raised by her mom, Claire Stoermer, and her father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman. Included in her household were her three sisters, Katianna Stoermer Coleman, Annabella Stoermer Coleman, and Kaylee Stoermer Coleman, along with her two brothers, Austin Stoermer Coleman and Julien Stoermer Coleman.

She attended Fruitvale Elementary School, Oakland School for the Arts, and Oak Park High School. She went on to attend The CalShakes Conservatory program for college.

Before she was famous, she was a model working for Macey’s, Mervyns, and the Old Navy at the age of 14, which is where she got her passion for modeling.

Eight years later, she is now 27 years old and lives in Los Angeles, CA, with her boyfriend, the famous actor, dancer, and film actor Tom Holland. Mr. Holland is most known for playing Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far from Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.

There are a lot of things that you find interesting about Zendaya. So here are a few: She loves drawing and writing poetry, Zendaya became the youngest contestant ever on Dancing with the Stars, and lastly, she was 12 years old when she made her first song, Swag It Out.

Not only is she interesting, but she is also very inspiring. For example, her quotes are very relatable and inspiring. So, with that being said, here are a few I think are inspiring: “The best thing is to realize that you are who you are, and you gotta work with what you got.”  “If you don’t try and take risks, then you don’t really grow or figure out what you want.” Lastly, “My generation has the opportunity to change the world.”
