Early life

Zendaya was born on September 1, 1996, in Oakland, California, the only child of Claire Marie (Stoermer) and Kazembe Ajamu (born Samuel David Coleman). She has five older half-siblings on her father's side. Her father is African-American, with roots in Arkansas, while her mother has German and Scottish ancestry. Zendaya said "That's all true. That's all good. Because the last time I was on here, they were like, 'Yeah, her mom's from, like, Norway,' or something."

Zendaya, whose name derives from the Shona name Tendai, meaning "to give thanks", grew as a performer in part at the nearby California Shakespeare Theater in Orinda, California, where her mother works as the house manager. She also trained at the theater's student conservatory program. She appeared in numerous stage productions while she was attending Oakland School for the Arts, starring as Little Ti Moune in Once on This Island at the Berkeley Playhouse and the breakout role of the male character Joe in Caroline, or Change at Palo Alto's TheaterWorks.

At age eight, Zendaya joined a dance group called Future Shock Oakland which focused on hip-hop and hula dances, and was a member for three years.

She studied at the CalShakes Conservatory Program and the American Conservatory Theater. Her other stage credits include William Shakespeare's Richard III, Twelfth Night, and As You Like It.
