Zakiyah Everette -- 9 things to know about the 'Big Brother' houseguest

Zakiyah Everette hasn't gotten much airtime on Big Brother's currently-airing eighteenth season yet, but that's sure to change.


Zakiyah, a 24-year-old preschool teacher from Charlotte, NC, is a beautiful, single woman who will probably use her looks to her advantage. She's currently in the majority "8 Pack" alliance and has interest in branching out into a five-person alliance with Paulie Calafiore, Da'Vonne Rogers, Nicole Franzel and Corey Brooks.

However, Da'Vonne has no interest in working with this group because it includes two blossoming couples. Zakiyah is well on her way to having a showmance with Paulie, a big challenge and social threat.

Zakiyah is fit, sweet and confident. Want to learn more about the Big Brother houseguest?
