"It is so hard to say goodbye to the @blackishabc family. But, I leave full of joy and pride," Ross wrote in an Instagram post alongside a series of photos and videos with the "Black-ish" cast and crew. "It was an honor to go to work every day, to create our hilarious and important show. We changed the landscape of modern primetime television. It is more than a notion to keep rising above the limiting ideas people have for Black women. To keep feeling the hits and to keep being free and shining anyway. 'Black-ish' was a place where I could shine and be free. Let this show be a promise of what is to come, let the space we leave in our departure be an invitation for an eternity of Black women leads who reflect the truth of who we are in the world and more shows that shift the narrative so that we can be seen in our fullness, and reflected as the important, loving, powerful humans that we are."
