In addition to starring in the series, the actress has directed two of its episodes and serves as one of its producers.
Ellis Ross has also appeared in the show’s first spinoff, Grown-Ish, and she co-created another spinoff entitled Mixed-Ish.
The performer spoke about how she learned more about herself while working on the show during an interview with Parade, where she noted that she was happy to express herself on camera.
‘Honestly, I’m still evolving and learning in that area. Not necessarily out of my identity as a mixed woman, but just out of my identity as a human being,’ she said.

Ellis Ross noted that the show was meant to address themes and experiences that are shared by many viewers.
‘What I identify with, and the way this story is being told, is that it’s a fish out-of-water experience; you’re not the same as everyone, which I think everyone experiences,’ she said.
She added: The truth is that I’m not a narrator on this show, this show is an expression of my memory.’
