Early Life & Career
Zendaya was born on September 1, 1996, to teachers Claire Stoermer and Kazembe Ajamu
Coleman, in Oakland, California.
Hers is a giant family.
Yeah, it's quite giant because she is one of six kids!
Zendaya is the youngest of her five older siblings, Katianna, Annabella, Austin, Kaylee,
and Julian.
They are all Z's half-siblings from her dad's previous marriage, which explains why they
are older than she is.
She may just be Zendaya in Hollywood, but her full name, although not so easy to remember,
certainly carries a lot of meaning.
Her father is an African-American, while her mother is of German and Scottish ancestry.
The name Zendaya means 'to give thanks,' and is derived from the Shona language.
She told Popstar magazine in 2011 that her name was part Shona and part parental invention.
Since her dad had a thing for Z's and zen, her parents added a unique twist to the Shona
word 'Tendai' and named her Zendaya.
She revealed to Us Weekly that her name literally has a whole timeline in history.
Her stage name, however, has just been Zendaya since she dropped her last name.
When asked about it, she told Allure in 2016 that she simply liked the sound of the one-word
stage name better.
Even though she dropped the rest of her name, she still treasures her family's unique history.
With its roots in Africa and Germany, her full name incorporates elements from each
part of her heritage.
From a very young age, Zendaya was keen on arts.
Her mother, Claire, was a former elementary school teacher.
More importantly, she is the house manager for the California Shakespeare Theater.
In an interview with Teen Vogue, she once explained that her mother's job showed her
the importance of both teaching and the arts.
Zendaya went to the Oakland School for the Arts, and while still a student, got hold
of several roles in local theatrical productions.
She played the character of Little Ti Moune in Once on This Island and a male character
Joe in Caroline or Change.
She also honed her craft at the American Conservatory Theater and the Cal Shakes Conservatory.
Having an interest in dance as well, she also studied hula dancing at the Academy of Hawaiian
Arts.
In addition to her theatrical work, Zendaya began her career working as a fashion model
and has had early success.
She worked for companies such as Macy's, Mervyns, and Old Navy.
She featured in the iCarly toys ad, and for a Sears commercial, Zendaya performed as a
back-up dancer for Selena Gomez.
She also featured in the Kidz Bop music video for a song cover by Katy Pery.
The then-14-year-old Zendaya witnessed her career take off in 2010, with her music debut
of Shake It Up, which became Disney's second highest-rated premiere in its 27-year history.
Following that, she released her first debut independent single, "Swag It Out," in 2011.
Her next single, "Watch Me", featuring Bella Thorne, peaked at number 86 on the US Billboard
Hot 100.
Her music career proved to be a grand success with her songs that followed, like "Replay"
and "Something New."
Her song "Rewrite the Stars" reached the top twenty of the United Kingdom and Australian
national charts and was certified double platinum in the United States, the United Kingdom,
and Australia.
In February 2013, Zendaya was selected as one of the celebrities who would compete on
the Season-16 of Dancing with the Stars and was the youngest contestant ever to participate
in the show.
Now let us have a look at her rocketing film career.
Her first movie role was in the 2012 film Frenemies, a Disney Channel Original Movie.
In 2017, Zendaya officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Michelle Jones in the
superhero film Spider-Man: Homecoming.
The same year, she co-starred in the original musical drama film, The Greatest Showman.
She gave her voice to the Warner Bros animated film Smallfoot, which got released in 2018.
Subsequently, in 2019, she began starring in the HBO drama series Euphoria.
It is an adaptation of the Israeli series of the same name.
Her performance was called "astonishing" and "mesmerizing," She subsequently won the Primetime
Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in the Drama Series.
She thereby became the youngest winner of the award.
In 2019, she reprised her role as MJ in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
The film emerged as a commercial success and became the fourth highest-grossing release
of the year.
The USA Today has remarked this young actress as "luminous" and an "absolute fire".
Her upcoming projects include the science fiction film Dune and the Spiderman movies'
next sequel, Spider-Man: No Way Home.
She will also star in season 2 of the drama series Euphoria.
Other ventures
Zendaya has solidified herself as a style and beauty icon.
Because of that, she has been able to give a face to several beauty companies.
She was the face of Chi Hair Care, CoverGirl, and Material Girl.
Did you know that Mattel even honored Zendaya with her own Barbie?
Yeah, it was a limited-edition Barbie, modeled after her Academy-Awards red-carpet style.
She released her debut book, Between U and Me: How to Rock Your Tween Years with Style
and Confidence.
This was in 2013, and she said that it was to help girls all through the tougher parts
of their tween years and shares advice to her young fans.
In 2015 she debuted her shoe collection named "Daya."
Later in 2016, her clothing line named "Daya by Zendaya" went on sale.
In 2018, the actress and model was ranked one of the best-dressed women by the fashion
website Net-a-Porter.
Lately, in October 2020, Z won the Visionary Award at the CNMI Green Carpet Fashion Awards
for "her efforts in promoting diversity and inclusion in fashion and film."
Besides acting, singing, and dancing, she is an ambassador for Convoy of Hope.
The actress also supports campaigns to raise awareness about underserved communities and
underprivileged schools.
She has also made efforts to support schools financially.
She identifies herself as a feminist.
She has tried to showcase her support for women's rights and has once discussed her
experiences as a black female in Hollywood.
Personal life & Relationships
Now you might wonder how Z gets time for a relationship.
But, between starring in hit television series and major blockbuster films, as well as being
a powerful social influencer, the former Disney Channel star makes time for it all.
Although she has managed to keep her personal life pretty private, she has been linked to
a few famous faces over the years.
As far as known, Zendaya isn't currently dating anyone, and even if she is, it has not yet
come out in public.
And as a matter of fact, we are in a global pandemic, so the dating scenes have considerably
cooled off.
But back in 2017, in an interview with Vogue, Zendaya had opened up about having a 4-year
long relationship with a secret boyfriend.
She never named the guy, but many people speculated that the mystery man was Trevor Jackson, whom
she co-starred with, on his music track "Like We Grown."
She has also been connected to NFL player Odell Beckam Jr. and Spiderman: Homecoming
co-star Tom Holland.
But from Zendaya's talks, it looks like all of them were just her close friends.
She also shut down the relationship rumors in an interview with Variety and stated that
Tom is a great dude and he is one of her best friends!
Later in 2019, there were also rumors about Zendaya and her Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi.
But, both of them have maintained they are just friends.
So, in short, ZSwaggers will have to keep their eyes peeled on her social media platforms
if they wanna find out whom she is currently dating.
