Rainbow Johnson is the matriarch on the show Black-ish. Rainbow is an amazing example of a strong African American woman who is not only a successful mother but also in her career. In this case, a successful anesthesiologist. The show deals with the issues of a Black family living in a mostly White upper-middle-class neighborhood. The show also realistically portrays that as a mother with a super demanding job, she has to juggle her priorities. Including when she can and cannot be there for all of her kid’s events. The show has successfully addressed many issues that are prevalent in today’s society including racism and feminist issues. Rainbow also shows that moms have flaws and that’s okay too.
