Tracee Ellis Ross Wants Every Woman to Know That Strong Is the New Pretty

PS: How important is it for you to play strong-minded and smart female characters when you take on roles? [Tracee currently plays an anesthesiologist on ABC's Black-ish and previously played a lawyer on the hit CW show Girlfriends]

TER: I don't know that I choose them specifically for that, but that seems to be what comes through in them and I'm open to that. I think it's great that those traits come across in certain roles, but my job and my intention is really sharing an honest humanity and breathing life into a character and making her feel authentic and honest.
