“When we talk about the world of black-ish, there are so many different iterations that we are open to; it’s really up to Kenya who is the master and the captain of the franchise,” Erwich said of the prolific Emmy-nominated comedy series which is headed into its eighth and final season. Now that “Black-ish” is coming to an end, Erwich says he wants to “event-ize” the final season of Barris’ hit show, which will debut mid-season for an uninterrupted sendoff. (Credit: Getty Images) “We felt by putting it at mid-season, it would give us more continuous runs, more episodes, that the concentration of those episodes would really give us something tangible to event-ize, and to honor,” said Erwich. “The show deserves to be platformed and have a spotlight put on it, given its contributions to our culture and to our company.” ....

My ma’s point, which I have hauled with me my entire existence, is that we must always fight for ourselves, for truth, always fight to tell our own stories, otherwise someone else will do it for us, often to our demise and devastation.
