With the finale episode of Season 1 of “Raven’s Home” right around the corner, HuffPost caught up with the “That’s So Raven” spin-off’s rising star Sky Katz to chat about her experience working with Raven-Symoné, her rap skills and her inspirations.
What’s it like playing Tess on “Raven’s Home”?
Playing Tess is so much fun and my character is just like me.
What makes you guys similar and what makes you dissimilar?
She cares about her friends so much, and so do I. She’s always in other people’s houses, but I like to host and have people at my house.

Have you watched any “That’s So Raven” in preparation?
My siblings were in the generation of “That’s So Raven” so I watched it with them.
What’s it like working with Raven?
It’s awesome. She’s so much fun and I learn so many new things from her.

How’d you get into rapping at such a young age?
My parents grew up in Queens so they loved hip-hop and they basically raised me with hip-hop.
Do you write your own raps?
I co-wrote my raps, so yes, I’m a big contributor in my raps.
Zendaya inspires me. She’s so awesome and so cool. She’s big on being beautiful just the way you are, and so am I.
The season finale of “Raven’s Home” airs Friday, Oct. 20 at 8 p.m. ET.
