Tracee Ellis Ross says growing up in Europe completely changed how she saw the world

Tracee Ellis Ross was born in Los Angeles, but by her early teens, she was living between Paris and Switzerland after her mother moved the family to Europe.

She eventually attended boarding school in Switzerland at just 13 years old.

Trevor Noah: Did you like boarding school?

Tracee Ellis Ross: Terrifying. I found it really terrifying.

But despite how difficult it was, those years ended up changing her life.

Tracee spent her summers and Christmases back in Switzerland for the next decade, surrounded by people from all over the world.

Tracee Ellis Ross: I became a child of the world, not an American.

Living abroad also made her question the intense patriotism she had grown up around in America.

Tracee Ellis Ross: When you live elsewhere, you really go, ‘God, we're all the same.’

Trevor agreed, saying American patriotism can sometimes feel more adversarial than in other countries.

Trevor Noah: Most people in the world who come from most countries, you just come from your country.

Tracee Ellis Ross: You just come from your country.

Pastor Kristian A. Smith spoke about the people who say that homosexuality is a sin

“You can't really get through to Christians when talking about sexuality if you don't deal with what they believe about sin. It doesn't matter what you say. You can say, ‘You know, Q+ people—they're the entire music ministry. We wouldn't have a church without them,’ and so on and so forth —all of these valid points. But at the end of the day, it always comes back to ‘but it's sinful.’

So in my theology, I deal with that directly. If the greatest commandment is the core of Jesus's message—because when he was asked, ‘What's the greatest?’ He said, ‘This is it. Everything hinges on this’ —then if love is the greatest commandment (love for God, neighbor, and self), the first rule of love is ‘do no harm.’ If I love you, I'm going to at least commit to not harming you. I can't help everybody—I’m a finite human being—but I can make a commitment to not harm anybody. So if the first commitment of love is ‘do no harm,’ then sin is anything that causes harm. That’s why I barely even use the term "sin" anymore. I talk about harm. Because sin is harm, and harm is sin. If something is not harming anybody, then it’s not a sin.

And if you can reorient your understanding of sin, maybe you can start to think differently about same-gender-loving people and trans people who are just living their lives, not harming anybody. They’re simply trying to live their truth. So then the question becomes: if they’re just trying to live their lives without harming anyone, and you, as a Christian, are condemning them and pushing them down, then you are the one causing harm. Right? So you are the one living in sin.”

Continuing to fight for visibility of my work is always an uphill battle. I get burnt out a little, but we gon keep going.

Seriously. If you liked Harry Potter. But always wanted to see a Black main character forefront. A Black boy who is the hero and is flawed and beautiful and with magic.

Also set at a magical HBCU where they time travel back to the Haitian Revolution, cast spells and go to homecoming, then please support my books.
