Tracee Ellis Ross x Uptown

 Tracee Ellis Ross is on the cover of Uptown magazine’s latest issue. She looks a bit unhappy on the cover but pretty nonetheless. I love the inside cover photo. In the interview she talks about her roles, life lessons and babies:

On the difference between Carla Reed and Joan Clayton:

“I enjoyed playing a different role. Carla is so different from Joan. And I am at a different point in my life. Joan and Carla are pieces of me. But I am much more than both of them. Joan was a very specific piece of me. She was neurotic, faithless, and afraid, which lends itself to some really good humor. Carla is the evolved version of Joan. She has the love that Joan was looking for, so it creates humor from a different place.” 

On taking risks:

“As a younger person, my philosophy was jump off a cliff. I realize now that there are stairs and elevators. I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me. I can even ask for help! Not feeling that I have to know everything, and that’s where the growth comes in, in the not knowing.”

On her “lily pad moment”:

“It’s the time when you come above water and you are aware of your surroundings,” she explains. “I was thinking: Oh my! This is my life? How did I get here? And better yet, what am I going to do with it?”

On becoming a mom:

“I got it from my mother. She always wanted children. I feel like she created space on the planet for us before we got here.”

“Oh, God yeah. I want to be a mom. But, obviously, this stuff happens in God’s time and not mine.”

Although I understand that everything comes in due time and it’s all in God’s hands, when it comes to children women need to be a smidge more proactive if they plan to have biological ones. I mean, I guess you can go the whole surrogate route, but…Idk. I hope she can have her some beautiful healthy babies when she’s ready and I say that with no sarcasm or shade.

This is STILL a gorgeous (and multitalented) black man #BBFFL!  @MalcolmJamalWar #Theo, star of the , star of the new B.E.T series , Read Between The Lines, covers the latest issue of @HeedMagazine. It’s fun to be able to play a happily married couple. There’s no drama, but there’s obviously family stuff and obstacles … but it’s nice to be able to play a couple who really dig each other. I think that’s sort of the Cliff and Clair of it. You knew tath Cliff really dug his wife, and she loved him, so it’s kind of reminiscent of that.” ~Malcolm on his new television series  (please note: the only reason I keep plugging Read Between The Lines is because both Malcolm and Tracee Ellis Ross’ characters on the show fictitiously graduated from my alma mater, Howard University #HU … and with that being said, FUCK B.E.T!)  but damn can I get one of these (above) for Christmas. Keep the bow … unless it’s strategically placed.  @homotidbits

@TraceeEllisRoss, star on the new B.E.T series, Read Between The Lines, covers the October 10/17, 2011 edition of JET Magazine.  While I think Tracee is a uniquely beautiful woman and JET could have done her better justice, at least the interview will keep peek your attention:  “I felt like we really did it. And I was always so present and aware of what a gift it was.” Plus, girlfriend was tired. “I don’t think you realize when you’re in the grind, how in the grind you really are. I felt like a basketball player retiring from the NBA.” “I still laugh out loud as if I’ve never seen it before. The other day I was watching an episode and I tweeted Jill [Marie Jones] and Persia [White] and said, ‘We were amazing!’ ~Tracee on the end of the groundbreaking, Girlfriends ( I’m still a #stan) Sidebar: In regards to that tagline ‘THE HOTTEST HBCU HOMECOMINGS’ … of course it’s Howard #HU ! @homotidbits
