Yara Shahidi Defines The Future On Cover Of Marie Claire

Yara Shahidi is on the cover of the new issue of Marie Claire magazine. The young actress is on the cover of the magazine’s upcoming “Future Issue”. Highlights from her interview are below.

On creating 7th Sun Productions with her Mom: “Oftentimes with studio systems you get the same list of folks who’ve always had the same opportunities. Breaking [new] people into the studio system, that’s been something that’s been really important to us.”

On partnering with Dior: “I never rep products that I don’t actually really like. I spent all of Grown-ish using [Dior] products and every time you see my face out in the world, even if they’re not tagged, it is a Dior makeup product. And it is the first time in my career in which I can put on a foundation and not end up with a breakout by the end of the day. And we’re working 15-hour days.”

On how proud she is about Black-ish and the opportunities it has given all who worked on it: “If you were to track how many people were able to get their show’s greenlighted who came from Black-ish, if you were to think about the incredible opportunities and doors that it’s opened behind the scenes, that has really been what is most special. You think about just how many directors and writers that have come through and then gone off to do epic things and tell their own super-specific stories. That impact! I don’t know if we’re ever going to be able to capture the full extent.”
