“Black-ish” star Yara Shahidi had lots of fans and supporters as she applied for college. She also had a letter of recommendation — and some encouragement — from Michelle Obama.
The actress and model of Iranian-American and African-American descent told W magazine that the former First Lady gave her a “go get ‘em, tiger” backrub before Shahidi took her Advanced Placement exams. She said Obama is “very amazing and such a supporter, which is something very surreal to say.”
Obama and Shahidi appeared on stage together in Washington in October for an International Day of the Girl event hosted by Glamour Magazine.
Shahidi is set to begin shooting a pilot for a spinoff series featuring her “Black-ish” character, Zoey Johnson on ABC.
