Actress Tracee Ellis decided to pay tribute to her mother Diana Ross by recreating one of her iconic hits, “Work That Body.”

“I recreated my Mom’s Work That Body video from 1981 as a fun experiment and a surprise for my mama! And ODE to her! While she has so, so many incredible moments to choose from, this one had an impact on me,” Tracee writes.

This year, Tracee Ellis Ross, the star of cult show Black-ish and daughter of Diana Ross, was the first black woman in 30 years to be nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

What Was Your Favorite Tv Show As A Child?
CagneyandLacey,Charlie’sAngels and The Carol Burnett Show – she was the first woman [on Tv] that reminded me of me.
What Do You Watch Now?
I’m hooked on Atlanta; it feels like conceptual art, told through the genre of Tv. And Orange Is the New Black – I love that the cast actually has the diversity of humanity.
Why Has Tv Overtaken Film As The Most Exciting Entertainment Medium?
The beauty of television is that you watch it in your home. We join you, you join us, and it becomes this very intimate affair, so those images have a different, deeper impact. I love that the Johnsons [in Black-ish] are a family everyone identifies with. People of color are always asked to identify with white families on Tv; [we have] this opportunity to allow white people to identify in the other direction – and to see the sameness.
Which Show Has Changed The Game For Actresses?
We still have a lot of work to do. We still decide how we look by how other people are going to see us, as opposed to the way it feels, or the way it looks to us. Even in the election, the idea that the biggest shame in the world would be that your husband would cheat on you? That, as a woman, your agenda is to be attractive enough to hold the gaze of your husband? Television perpetuates that.
How Would You Review Black-ish?
A comedy that deals with race, identity and culture, and what happens when you raise a family with more than you had as a kid.
What Would The Tv Show Of Your Life And Its Tagline Be?
Joy – “A lady doing it her way.”
Watch Black-ish now on ABC
