And he does it all with his trademark warmth and empathy.    In his latest episode, Sam talks to actress, singer, and Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross about the moment we’re in. She tells Sam about Black joy and resilience in the face of uncertainty, and how she pushes back against age, race, and gender stereotypes.   Find out how she tackled her fears of onscreen singing for her latest film, The High Note, and why, at 47, she’s the most comfortable in her skin she’s ever been.
