RAVAL DAVIS

Actress, host, and body positive advocate, RaVal Davis is the go-to-girl for smart and engaging discourse around body positivity, beauty, wellness, and women’s issues. Davis also pontificates on the intersections of race, gender and entertainment.

A sought after speaker, host and all around valued talent, The CNN Op-ed contributor packages her honest yet feminine opinions with grace and style. She is the host of BET’s Don’t Touch My Hair talk show--a topical series that addresses the concerns of black women. Davis is also a published writer who has penned pieces for CNN, Essence, Nylon, The Huffington Post, EBONY, The Grio, VIBE, and many more. Moreover, RaVal recently co-starred on CBS’ FBI Most Wanted and will costar on the upcoming season of Starz’ Power Book II: Ghost. Additionally, as a speaker and host, Davis has graced the stages of Essence Fest, The National Urban League, Blog Her, The Great Girlfriend's Conference and Ambassador Con. Hosting Samsung's official 2018 Oscar viewing was a special career highlight. The Rutgers University graduate has also played co-host alongside Wendy Williams for the Lifetime Network as well as made appearances on Essence Live, CW 11 news, The Wendy Williams Show and many other platforms.
