It finally happened! After nearly an entire year without a new episode, On My Block returned to Netflix for Season 3. The third season of the streamer’s popular teen comedy was filled with new mysteries, surprising hookups, and about 1,001 gifable moments from the gift that keeps on giving known as Jamal Turner (Brett Gray). Speaking of our favorite Core Four goofball, fans have fallen in love with Jamal’s stalker turned prophet turned love interest Kendra.

A new addition to On My Block, Kendra is the perfect foil for Jamal. A homeschooled student with a penchant for note-taking, Kendra subscribes to a “hands on” approach to learning. “For bio, instead of a frog dissection, I assisted a veterinarian in neutering my dog,” she tells Jamal during Episode 4.

Johnson is a relative newcomer to the acting scene. She previously portrayed Joan in Kendall Huff and Rachel Simurda’s short film Ujana and has two exciting projects on the horizon.

First, she’ll portray Berna Vincent in the upcoming comedy fantasy A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting.
