Who Is RHOP's New Housewife, Askale Davis?

As mentioned on the show, Askale Davis is Ethiopian. Her addition makes sense, as Maryland has a big Ethiopian-American presence. Although she's based in Maryland, Askale hails from Seattle, Wash. as her parents settled there after escaping war-torn Ethiopia. "My mother fled war stricken Ethiopia at the age of 17. At 18, she met my father in a Sudanese refugee camp," she wrote in a Mother's Day Instagram post. "She bravely stepped foot into a foreign country with nothing & had to learn the language, the culture, and basic survival skills," she continued. "Two years later, my parents saved enough money to buy into an Ethiopian restaurant. Kokeb, was the first Ethiopian restaurant in Seattle." 

So, what caused Askale to move to the East Coast? Howard University. As her UNCF bio reads, she is a proud graduate of H.U., where she earned a BSc in Biology and Chemistry. After college, Askale worked as a restorative justice program manager, supporting at-risk youth in the Washington DC area. Then in March 2020, she joined UNCF as a community engagement manager.

Last (but certainly not least, when it comes to "RHOP"), Askale is married to Dre Davis, director of talent and influencer relations at FanBase, per LinkedIn. The couple shares two children, as well as other kids from a previous relationship. "I was always the type of woman who said 'I'm never going to date a man w/ kids," she once admitted.
