Time to spotlight some #BlackGirlMagic!
Yara Shahidi is moving up in her career by launching her own production company and landing an exclusive overall production deal with ABC Studios.
The Grown-ish actress signed the deal along with her mother and business partner Keri Shahidi.
The deal explains that the duo is to develop and produce scripted and alternative television projects for cable, streaming and broadcast via their newly launched production company 7th Sun. The company will be based at ABC Studios, a part of Disney Television Studios.
Yara shared her excitement on Instagram.
ABC Studios also shared their excitement. “We can’t wait to extend and expand our relationship with the incredibly talented Yara Shahidi, who has been a member of the family since black-ish,” said ABC Studios President Jonnie Davis. “When she’s not studying at Harvard and starring in our series ‘grown-ish,’ she’s mentoring and inspiring other young people, which makes us all feel like underachievers but also very proud that she’s part of our Studio.”
Congratulations to the Shahidi’s!
