Anthony Anderson Instagram – Anthony Anderson shared the origin of “Black-ish” at the Black Men XCEL summit. The show’s title came from a conversation between him and Kenya Barris about their families. They realized that their sons had questioned their own Black identity in unique ways. The term “Black-ish” was born from their personal stories and experiences, and it eventually became the show’s name. It’s a testament to embracing and celebrating the diversity of Black experiences. #BMXCEL
