Tanita S. Davis: Hello. My name is Tanita S. Davis. When she was pregnant, my mother decided to take the first letter of my father, Theo's, name and graft it to my grandmother, Anita's, name. She made up Tanita. It's basically Anita with a T.

I used to wish I had a more normal name when I was a kid. I used to wish I could find it on keychains or stickers or something. But now, I'm okay with it. It'll always be a little gift from my mom, and a part of my father and my grandmother I'll always have with me. Tanita S. Davis.
