Kenya Barris knew what he was doing when he created grown-ish. After introducing Zoey Johnson on black-ish, Barris called on Yara Shahidi to take her character on a journey of her own with a coming of age spin-off show on Freeform. For the past three seasons, the actress has experienced her first three years of college at Cal U, and while she leads the show, her fellow cast members help bring a vibrance and warmth to each episode.
