I Felt Like It Was A Courageous Show [black-ish] From The Beginning. We Are A Black Family - We're Not A Family That Happens To Be Black. But The Show Is Not Even About Us Being Black. The Show Is About Us Being A Family. That Is Groundbreaking - On Tv, The Black Characters Either Happen To Be Black Or They're The "black Character," Where Everything They Say Is About Being Black. I Think That's The Genius.

Because Of My Unique Experience As My Mom's Child, The Beginning Of My Journey Was More About Me Trying To Figure Out Who I Was On My Own. My Mom Is One Of The Greatest Moms And So Supportive Of All My Siblings And Of All Of Us Being Who We Are, And Not Who She Wanted Us To Be.
