“The journey was a quick one,” she says. “It depends on how you look at it. If you’re thinkin about when black-ish started, it’s been a nice, long journey.”

Yara adds, “If you’re thinking from the summer of season three of black-ish to the first season of grown-ish, it went by like the speed of light.”
