Full Bio
Chloe O. Davis is a Broadway performer and debut author who works in the entertainment industry in New York. A graduate of Hampton University and Temple University, she has centered her creative platform on amplifying the narratives of Black culture and heightening the awareness of the LGBTQIA+ community. She also leads important DEI discussions for organizations and corporations, like Apple, VMLY&R, Coqual and the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Davis’s work as a dancer, actor and creative has allowed her to travel to all 50 states and internationally. In addition to performing at premier theaters across the country, such as New York City Center, the Apollo Theater, The Kennedy Center, The Muny and the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, she has appeared on PBS’ Great Performances at the Met: The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess, Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert on NBC, and Southern Landscape performed by the Philadelphia Dance Company (PHILADANCO!).
In tandem with performing, Davis spent 15 years researching, writing and creating The Queens’ English, The LGBTQIA+ Dictionary of Lingo and Colloquial Phrases (Clarkson Potter/Penguin Random House, 2021). She believes this dictionary is a starting point for important conversations around inclusivity, sexuality, gender expression and identity. Her work has been featured on BBC, The Wendy Williams Show and was a Barnes and Noble Pride Book Pick.
