Ayo Edebiri visits former Boston high school, chats with Boston mayor


Actress Ayo Edebiri returned home to Boston on Thursday, visiting her high school for the first time since graduating in 2013.

Participating in a fireside chat with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Edebiri confessed that she was shy in school and recalled a public speaking assignment with a teacher who helped change her. In a wrap-up to her return home, Wu proclaimed April 10 "Ayo Edebiri Day" in recognition of not just her achievements in the arts but also her commitment to influencing Boston youth. “It was a true delight to speak with award-winning actor, comedian, writer, producer, and Dorchester girl Ayo Edebiri about how Boston Public Schools and our city helped shape her path," Wu said.
