They will also sit down for an organic conversation that will reveal the unexpected beyond their celebrity personas not often shared publicly.

In the upcoming fifth episode, Yara challenges comedian, creator and 15x chess champion Elsa Majimbo to a game of chess, and the two discuss following your dreams, Elsa developing her sense of humor, and more!  Watch the clip below.

“Much of our world and work as a family has been inspired by the intimate conversation we’ve had with the incredible people we’re surrounded by,” said Shahidi in a statement.” For years, we at 7th Sun have wanted to open the door wide open and share with my peers how moving it is to hear some of my favorite folks talk about THEIR favorite things. We are excited to join forces with Jesse Collins Entertainment, Tiffany Mills, and Meta to share these meaningful moments with my peers!”

Her mother Keri stated: “It’s been energizing to progress an idea created around our dinner table, into a show that gives space for people to share more about themselves. Our focus is to celebrate and amplify voices of others – and producing this show alongside Meta, Jesse Collins Entertainment and our incredible show runner, Tiffany Mills, is a collaborative mission to blossom authenticity and connect with our community like never before.”
