Drea Barris

Drea Barris is a character featured in #blackAF. She is portrayed by Iman Benson. She is the second eldest daughter of her parents Joya Barris and Kenya Barris. She is also the sibling of- Chloe Barris, Izzy Barris, Pops Barris, Kam Barris, and Brooklyn Barris. She was (presumably) born and brought up in California. The show is a "mockumentary" based on the Barris family, and is Drea's project for NYU. She is known for being the smart and "woke" member of the Barris family.

Season 1
Initially, we see Drea in her first "confessional" and she explains that the show is a documentary which she's making as part of her application to NYU film school next year. As we see the extent of the project, Drea explains that she didn't ask for any of the equipment being used, like her seven-man camera crew, but instead it was provided by her dad, Kenya Barris. She decides to accept his help while she can. At the Four Seasons Sunday Brunch, Drea complains about the fanciness and extravagance of the place saying that she'd have been, "cool with a Pop-Tart and some OJ," and claims that's because she's not an asshole.
