Tracee Ellis Ross and Yara Shahi bond

Tracee Ellis Ross’ Insta post(Source: Instagram)

I am talking about Tracee Ellis Ross and Yara Shahidi who are co-stars as well as close buddies. Recently Tracee explains why she felt so close to Yara writing an open letter.

“There are a few key things that we have in common beyond black-ish. We are both of mixed heritage and we honor and celebrate our legacies, we both have wonderfully strong mothers whom we love deeply. We have siblings that shore us up and help define us.”

She also didn’t forget to mention her bond with Yara, which literally comes through constant text messaging, hair and makeup tips swapped, and their presence together at the Women’s March this past January.

“May you stay curious and teachable. As an artist, and as a girl with a platform, the invitation is set before you to continue to speak the truth and to use your creative expression to deepen our understanding of humanity and further social progress. I know you will do so brilliantly”

Aww! We really appreciate this and also heartily agree, Don’t we?

Let’s have a look at the letter written by Tracee Ellis Ross to Yara Shahidi down below:

A Heartfelt letter to the co-star

Dearest Yara,

What a gift it is for me to be able to witness you in this moment of tremendous growth and grace. I was here in this life 27 years before you arrived. And you lived 13 years before we met, yet it has been almost 4 years that we have been walking beside each other, sharing early mornings and long hours, stealing moments of silliness and claiming moments of connection … sometimes in the form of sisterhood, generally under the guise of a mother/ daughter, but mostly as kindred souls from different eras.

There are a few key things that we have in common beyond Black-ish: we are both of mixed heritage and we honor and celebrate our legacies, we both have wonderfully strong mothers whom we love deeply. We have siblings that shore us up and help define us.

Kerri and Afshin – thank you for raising this being.

Yara, we have earned our relationship gently and I hold it as sacred. Our relationship is important and is not just about me playing your mom on screen. It is about what happens between takes, in the hair and makes up a trailer, in our calls and text exchanges and when we see each other out in life as two brown girls with lots of hair that are either masterfully braided, bunned or just flying free.

I enjoy your company sweet, Yara. I appreciate our ridiculous and ineffable text messagingam so glad I knew to call you for the Women’s March and that we will have that as a memory for the rest of our lives, that we were together in that powerful moment.

You can’t help but to grow up, but you are also waking up and that is a choice that you are boldly making. You are interested in and focused on change, drawn to thought leaders, hungry for knowledge and willing to use your platform to inform racial justice and gender parity.

Both on and off the set I witness you finding your voice. I am moved when I see you speak honestly about your own identity as a young Black and Iranian-American woman.

I believe your intimate life experience, holds lessons that are universal. You have joined forces with New York’s Young Women’s Leadership Schools to launch the digital mentorship program named, simply, YARA’S CLUB. And you’re just getting started.

Well, guys don’t you think it is so appreciable that two stars can be so good buddies?
