“The timing was perfect to be able to bring Girlfriends to a whole new audience.

Ross, Brooks, White and Jones will appear on the “black-ish” episode titled “Feminisn’t.”The official synopsis from ABC reads:
“When Bow [Ross] learns that Diane [Marsai Martin] and Ruby [Jenifer Lewis] don’t believe in feminism, she brings Diane to meet the women in her feminist group. Bow’s friend Abby [guest stare Nadia Quinn] thinks the group needs to be more inclusive, so Bow invites three of her girlfriends to join. Meanwhile, Junior [Marcus Scribner] and Jack [Miles Brown] help Dre [Anthony Anderson] after he realizes he is out of touch with modern day feminism.”
Ross, who stars in “blackish,” led the cast of “Girlfriends” during its run on UPN for six seasons before ending its eighth season on The CW in 2008.
“These are women I grew up with and love deeply and it was easy to tap back into the magic of our chemistry and how much we love each other. It was giggles on top of giggles on top of giggles,” said Ross to EW.
Season 6 of “black-ish” premieres Sept. 24 at 9:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
