Similar to Zendaya's mum, her dad Kazembe Ajamu Coleman was also a teacher. According to the actor's Glamour interview, Coleman gave up teaching when Zendaya was a teenager to help her with auditions. According to People, he has recently worked as a manager for his daughter, though little is known about Coleman's career or private life outside of his relationship with Zendaya.
The "Euphoria" actor revealed that her dad is very protective of her while in attendance at Essence's Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon in 2016, saying (via People), "My dad is going to vet any guy that even looks at me . . . If I decide to have my dad around to make sure dad vets them out and makes sure they are cool, they better go through dad first! You know what I'm saying?"
