Yara Shahidi, Marie Claire and Pop Quiz Challenge

Yara Shahidi, Marie Claire and Pop Quiz Challenge

Yara Shahidi is a Harvard senior, star of ABC's hit sitcom Black-ish, and co-founder of 7th Sun Productions, a production company she recently launched with her mother. But the 21-year-old multi-hyphenate (opens in new tab), who graced the cover of Marie Claire's September issue, took time out of her crazy schedule to enjoy a little pop quiz game.

Our pop-the-balloon-and-answer-the-question (never mind the flying confetti!) In the latest episode of the game, Shahidi reveals her favorite couch snack, a show she watches too much (repeatedly), and the Great British Baking Show ("Oh! That's mine!" , same, yalla...) ) and how she made her first dollar in just six weeks, with an extra shout out to.

Come to watch Yara master her fear of breaking balloons (her reaction is priceless) and stay to hear the college senior show off her secret talent: reciting old English. She also taught us something every woman should try at least once. Our "yes" is so powerful, but I know that getting used to saying "no" and not having to justify it, especially as a young woman and a woman of color growing up in this world, is something that takes constant practice. So I encourage you to give my year of "no" a try."

Watch Yara on Pop Quiz, and check out our September cover story (opens in new tab) and the full digital issue here (opens in new tab).
