Black-ish got a spin off show this year called Grown-ish. The show follows the eldest daughter of Black-ish, Zoey (Yara Shahidi), and her first year of college and dealing with the struggles of it. Zoey meets some nice friends at college, including Ana Torres played by Francia Raisa.

Raisa’s character is an outspoken conservative freshman that becomes close with Zoey. For Raisa, this is a fun character to play, as she never went to college and wishes she had followed in Ana’s footsteps. Raisa may look familiar as she starred in other another Freeform hit The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and cheered her way through Bring it On: All or Nothing.

The star has also been in the news recently since saving Selena Gomez’s life. Raisa donated her kidney to save her best friend’s life. Gomez has been battling Lupus for several years now.

You can watch how Ana’s first year of college is going on Freeform every Wednesday at 8pm/7c.
