“Being called the voice of a generation is complicated,” says Yara Shahidi, the twenty year-old multi-hyphenate who has earned that powerful title as much for her pioneering work as a Gen Z activist as she has for her performances on the acclaimed sitcoms Black-ish and Grown-ish. She insists, though, that she’s not alone in her quest to push for progress and rewrite the cultural narrative. “I appreciate the sentiment, and I appreciate that people are paying attention to what I'm saying.
As the 2020 Presidential election approaches, it’s clear now more than ever that younger generations have the social and political power to shape the future they envision, and Shahidi is leading the way. I recently sat down with her to discuss the responsiblity that comes with her powerful platform and how she’s using it for good. Highlights of our conversation below.
