Zendaya

Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman, born in Oakland, California, is a highly acclaimed American actress, singer, and producer. She began her professional journey as a child model and backup dancer before rose to fame as Rocky Blue on the Disney Channel series Shake It Up. Her name, derived from the Shona word meaning "to give thanks," reflects her deep roots in her hometown, where she trained at the Oakland School for the Arts and the Cal Shakes Conservatory Program. Transitioning from her Disney roots, she achieved critical acclaim for her portrayal of Rue Bennett in the HBO drama series Euphoria, a role that made history by making her the youngest two-time winner of the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Her cinematic presence is equally significant, starring as MJ in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man films and as Chani in the Dune franchise. Beyond acting, Zendaya is a global fashion icon and brand ambassador for luxury houses like Louis Vuitton, as well as a former recording artist known for her platinum single "Replay."
