ABOUT AFRITA DAVIS
(She/Her)
Afrita started Improv journey a few years ago and fell in love with the art form. While new to improv, she is no stranger to being in front of crowds. She began her oratory practice in high school, where she participated in her school local forensic club. She continued to built those skills into a business and her current day job as a facilitator and personal developer coach. Her talent for humor always took a back seat to the more serious nature of speaking until she took an improv class at Kickstand Comedy. She co-founded "The Humans," a local Portland improv group, and has performed with other groups over the years. She is a kind and expressive performer who sees the humor in the routine crevices of life.
