Wait, so y’all out here losing all this weight by just WALKING??!!

Tracee Ellis Ross talks about how she adopted her father's name, "Ellis," rather than "Silberstein" “I was born Tracee Joy Silberstein. My middle name is Joy. That's what's on my birth certificate. And then Tracee Joy Ross Silberstein became the name that I had all through grade school. So I was TJRS. And I don't know where, what, why, I don't know what that was, we lost Silberstein. My dad is Robert Ellis Silberstein. But he goes by Bob Ellis. And him and his wife, my stepmom, are Bob and Susan Ellis. We all dropped Silberstein. I became Tracee Joy Ross. And then here's the key. When I joined SAG, I was, you know, nobody uses their middle name —You're Tracee Ross. And when I joined SAG, there was another Tracey Ross, from Star Search. And so I could put Joy in my name and be Tracee Joy Ross, but I really wanted, when my name hit the screen, for everyone to know that I was not just my mom's daughter, but also my dad's daughter. And so I am Tracee Ellis Ross. So that every time I'm up there, Bob Ellis knows ‘that's my kid’ and Diana Ross knows ‘that's also my kid’. And it's like she's proud of us both.”
