Zavawn smith shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Good morning Zavawn, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: Have any recent moments made you laugh or feel proud?
Finishing up my sophomore film waking night while also being in a place of rehabilitation with my life

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi everyone I’m Za’Vawn Carre’ Actor international published model , creative director of a few fashion shows and events from hosting talent shows to karaoke nights in the twin cities. My brand is being a sophisticated gent which stems from my parents brand sophisticated ladies and gents established in 2018. As of now I do some consulting with image. It’s been a long time coming next year I will be attending Augsburg University. I am 34 years old and still creating many avenues for myself. The family house hold brand is from hairstyles from kyras dollhouse designs and prints from SLG boutique and casting talent hints what I do. I’m working on ” Carre’ content creationz” which will be a tool to help build your social media presence. The last film I worked on was from a month ago called D/E\M/O\N/ which will be out in 2026

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
I had several mentors but 1 that stood out the most would be Billionaire mogul Rihanna

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Honestly In the last few years but I noticed I had to adjust some things in my life

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?
Absolutely…..not I mean to a certain extent but there are things and ways of thinking I want and need my inner circle to know about me

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
Everything that I know doesn’t serve me. If it doesn’t inspire me or make me feel like a whole person I want nothing to do with it self inflicting behavior , control , habits ect
