Raven-Symone will be guest starring on an episode of “Black-ish,” Access Hollywood has confirmed.

She has been cast as Rhonda, the gay sister of Dre (Anthony Anderson), according to Entertainment Weekly. The siblings are uncomfortable discussing Rhonda’s sexuality and compete with one another for a better spot on their mother’s (Jenifer Lewis) annual rankings, which she lists every December, the mag reported.

The singer/actress Instagrammed a selfie on Tuesday with “Black-ish” makeup artist Nadyne T. Hicks.

“@happynadyne and I have known each other 21 years…. Wow! Great to be working with family!” the star captioned the pic.

The episode – titled “Please Don’t Ask, Please Don’t Tell” – will air later this season. The show also stars Tracee Ellis Ross and Laurence Fishburne.

Raven-Symone has been vocal about not wanting to place a label on her own sexual orientation.

“I don’t want to be labeled gay. I want to be labeled a human who loves humans. I’m tired of being labeled,” she told Oprah Winfrey on an episode of “Oprah: Where Are They Now?” in October 2014.

Raven-Symone has a recurring role on the hit Fox series “Empire” and previously starred on television programs such as “That’s So Raven” and “The Cosby Show.”

“Black-ish” airs Wednesdays at 9:30/8:30c on ABC.
