She was engaged in the fight against institutional racism[12][failed verification] in the Seattle Art Museum library[13][failed verification] where she was head of Civic Engagement Programs.[14]

Her work has been exhibited widely, including at Frye Art Museum,[15] the Northwest African American Museum,[16] the Intiman Theatre,[17] Bridge Productions,[18] WaNaWari,[19] Tacoma Art Museum,[20] and the Jacob Lawrence Gallery at the University of Washington.[21]

Davida's interest in art began when her father taught her how to draw a face.[22]

Her work has a post-modern sensibility because she is particularly influenced by theory and cultural studies.[23]
