Zendaya’s Parents: Meet Her Supportive Mother Father
“I gotta give it to my parents — I’m really lucky to have the parents that I have,” Zendaya gushed to Ellen DeGeneres in 2016. “They just have always instilled in me those core values that I think I have to carry me through everything. I give it up to them. I give it up to my family.” Zendaya is the daughter of Claire Stoermer and Kazembe Ajamu Coleman. Both Claire and Kazembe are from very different backgrounds — Claire is German and Kazembe is African — but they’ve instilled their values in Zendaya over the years. “My mother’s proud of where she’s from and her history and her past, and same with my dad,” Zendaya once said. “I have roots in Africa. Like, I am from Africa, as well as from Germany, and I am very proud of that.”
