Kyra
Davis was born in Santa Clara, California.
Her mother was single at the time of her birth
and raised her with the help of Kyra's maternal
grandparents in Santa Cruz, California. Her
mother's side of the family is Jewish of Eastern
European descent. Her father was African American
and lived in Los Angeles.
Kyra's mother (who apparently had a thing
for the multicultural) married an Irish
Catholic man with a son who was three years
Kyra's senior, the summer before Kyra entered
middle school.
