We had the good fortune of connecting with Zaire Davis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Zaire, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
Learning how to balance work and personal projects is necessary for me to get things done and feel good while doing it! I find it helpful to use a planner to stay organized and structured. 

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
You have to prioritize your art to create something meaningful and special. Filmmaking and acting have always been a way for me to express feelings that I don’t know how to say aloud. Check out Davis Flicks to see some passion projects!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Hiking with my friends on Saturday mornings is usually how I start off my weekend! I like to spend time at Teapop in North Hollywood. It’s a trendy, quiet coffee shop where I like to get work done and get something yummy to eat. Afterwards, I usually spend time at outdoor black vendors events and flea markets. They’re a fun way to mingle, eat great food, and shop for dope clothes.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I recognize how fortunate I am to have mentors, teachers, and supporters in my life that have always been willing to offer advice and wisdom. Some of those people are Michael Kinney, Jay Francis, Calvin Brown Jr., Stacy & Ted Milner, Robert Gander, and Ralph Farquhar. I also know that I would be nowhere without the unwavering love and support from my family; Roland Davis Sr., Jacalyn Davis, Roland Davis Jr., Maxine Hicks, Robert Hicks, and Margaret Davis.
