YARA SHAHIDI HAS A LOT ON HER PLATE— AND ON HER MIND. CARINA CHOCANO SITS DOWN WITH THE TEENAGE DYNAMO. PHOTOGRAPHED BY ALESSANDRA SANGUINETTI.
Eighteen, to be exact—though she’s already accomplished more than most people do in a lifetime. Her breakout role on the hit ABC sitcom Blackish led to the spin-off Grown-ish on Freeform, which starts shooting its second season early next year (she serves as producer as well as star). She has discussed political activism with Hillary Clinton and Oprah Winfrey, is a brand ambassador for Chanel, and started a voting guide for young people called Eighteen x ’18. She graduated last year from the Dwight School in New York, having received acceptance letters from every college she applied to, and will start at Harvard in the fall. She can tell you the year she becomes eligible to run for president off the top of her head.
