Meet GenneyaWalton, one of the stars of Netflix's newest family sitcom, blackAF.
"Not only do I hope that the show can provide entertainment, I really hope it can provide inspiration for more open, honest, and understanding conversations," Walton said."I hope it can give people insight into the black experience and something for people to relate to in the black community. With the overall state of the world and its divisiveness, I hope it can bring people together and make everyone more understanding and connected to one another.
It turns out that being able to relate to Chloe on a deep level was a huge draw for Walton to take the role."When I was filming, I was 20 and Chloe is 19. I think a lot of 19, 20 year olds during this particular time can relate a lot more often than not," she said."This was the first role that I got to play that close to my age.
"With my older sister—I think a lot of people can relate to this—there was a point in time when we didn’t get along, we were always fighting, for mostly no reason at all, but now my sister and I are so much closer and have a much better relationship and understanding of each other," Walton went on."Chloe and Drea have their time when they’re not going to get along, but I think you’ll see that they grow closer and have more of an appreciation for each other.
"There are definitely some things that I said to my parents on the show that I could not say to my parents in real life," she laughed."But I think that’s what’s so interesting to see. Not everyone could necessarily relate to how open and honest they can be with their parents, but I think what’s cool is that it almost encourages open and honest conversations between parents and their kids.
