Kenya Barris is a very busy man. If there were an actual award for hardest working man in showbiz, he’d be a contender in the category. The acclaimed writer, producer, director and actor has made his presence felt throughout Hollywood by delivering a range of buzzworthy narratives for the big and small screen that speak to different Black experiences.

He’s written, produced and created a variety of successful shows and films. His credits include creating TV hits black-ish, BlackAF, Grown-ish, Mixed-ish, America’s Next Top Model and writing and producing on shows like Girlfriends and The Game, and on films like Coming 2 America, Girls Trip and Shaft. Khabako Ink Society, his production company, has struck major deals with Netflix and ViacomCBS.

Although the Inglewood, California, native already has a lot on his plate, his lengthy list of upcoming projects just seems to keep on growing. He’s expanding the black-ish franchise with the forthcoming Old-ish, which will star Laurence Fishburne and Jenifer Lewis. Collaborations with musical masterminds Pharrell Williams, Kid Cudi and 50 Cent are in the works. Barris is also set to produce content based on cultural icons Bob Marley, Richard Pryor and Ben Crump.
