Arica made her theatrical debut off-Broadway in The Layover (Second Stage Theater). According to The Wrap, "Himmel delivered the most unsentimental child performance ever." Arica appeared in an episode of black-ish which introduced her character on the spin-off mixed-ish. She starred as the teenage version of Rainbow Johnson played by Tracee Ellis Ross on black-ish. Arica plays Makayla Parish, daughter of Gracián (Giancarlo Esposito) and Rose (Paula Malcomson) in Parish.
