“Pixie dust loading,” Shahidi told her social media fans. She also uploaded a picture of herself in-character.
“What,” Alexis Ohahian said with excitement. “I cannot wait to show this trailer to Alexis Olympia,” the celebrity father said in reference to his daughter. “Why did I think this was going to be a Tinker Bell movie,” another fan asked. “Am I the only one who wanted that,” the social media follower further inquired. “Either way, I’m going to support you, girl, and watch.”
Yara Shahidi continues to make amazing strides in Hollywood and off-camera. It was last year that the young adult, who became a major household name after starring as Zoey Johnson on Black-ish for years, received her undergraduate degree from Harvard University. The actress shared her feelings of accomplishment after turning in her final thesis during a recent interview with Vogue.
“It was important for me, as a young adult, to prove to myself—during these times of transition—that I am capable, and perhaps more capable than I give myself credit,” Shahidi shared with the publication.

“Having a final product, and being in conversation with people who appreciate what I had to offer, was a necessary way to end my journey with a newfound confidence,” Yara added. “I was grateful so many people were willing to be there for me, in expected and unexpected ways.”
Shahidi received congratulatory remarks from many of her supporters after revealing her completion of undergraduate studies at Harvard University. “Congratulations, Yara,” former First Lady Michelle Obama shared. “This is such a special accomplishment,” she added. “I am so proud of you and the strong example you’ve set for others to follow.” Lexi Underwood wrote, “Congratulations!”
