"I feel so grateful to have experienced this film in all of its glory," Bailey continued. "It has been the toughest experience being away from everything and everyone I’ve ever known, to feeling self doubt/ loneliness, but also feeling such freedom and perseverance as I’ve reached the end."

"This experience has made me so much stronger than I ever thought i could be," she gushed. "I’m so grateful to have such lovely and talented people in the cast."

The Grown-ish star then tagged some of the people she worked with, such as "legends" Melissa McCarthy and Awkwafina, who "are masters of their craft but are so welcoming and open to little old me."

"It has been the most formative and special job of my life," he declared. "Thank you to all of the absolutely incredible crew and cast who blew me away with their talent and professionalism — some of them pictured here, many of them not 🙏."
