Through television shows like "Black-ish," "#blackAF," and "Grown-ish," and movies like "You People," Kenya Barris has become one of the most influential creative voices on how we talk about race in America. The magic of Barris’ work is his ability to explore complex issues like race and class through a comedic lens and make it accessible to wide audiences.
His shows and films are funny enough to be on networks like ABC and Netflix, but still edgy enough to piss off people like President Donald Trump. Trump once tweeted in response to an episode of "Black-ish" about the fury there would be if a show was called "White-ish."
