Whew! If only we all thought and spoke like this at the age of 16! Yara Shahidi, best known as the self-absorbed Zoey on Black-ish, is a self-proclaimed “budding activist” who thinks Jesse Williams’ BET speech should be required for everyone.
“As you watch Black-ish, you are witnessing the constant conversation and work we put into the blossoming and development of my character Zoey. She is my activism through art.”
Watch as Yara breaks down the importance of minority representation in Hollywood and on television.
