Tracee Ellis Ross just got a very special personalized gift from her Hollywood pal, Kerry Washington.
The 50-year-old Black-ish alum took to Instagram to show off her present. It turns out that Washington, who's been working as an executive producer on the new Hulu series Reasonable Doubt, decided to make a sweatshirt that highlighted Black female lawyers from TV shows.
Thus, Ross—who played Joan Carol Clayton, Esq., in Girlfriends—was one of the celebs whose character was featured on the outerwear.
Ross happily smiled as she showed off the sweatshirt in her post. “As a former Black Woman TV lawyer (Joan Carol Clayton, Esq) I have no objections!” Ross wrote. “Shout out to my friend @kerrywashington for creating this cute sweatshirt celebrating #BlackWomenTVLawyers in honor of her legal drama @reasonabledoubthulu!”
In addition to Joan, the sweatshirt was stacked with the first names of other iconic characters, including Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) from How to Get Away with Murder, Molly Carter (Yvonne Orji) from Insecure, Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) from Suits, Clair Huxtable (Phylicia Rashad) from The Cosby Show and Maxine Felice Shaw (Erika Alexander) from Living Single.

Of course, Washington included one of her own characters— Olivia Pope from Scandal. And then to round out the list, she included Jax Stewart (played by Emayatzy Corinealdi) from Reasonable Doubt.
Washington got herself one of the sweatshirts too, and she showed it off on her own Instagram, where she said, “Welcome to the club, Jax. #BlackWomenTVLawyers.”
Reasonable Doubt follows the L.A.-based Jax as she tries to balance her high-profile cases with the workload of being a single mother (and the first season got a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on eight critical reviews, btw).
Corinealdi showed her excitement to be among such a talented cohort of women, and she modeled her own sweatshirt in a post, where she said, “Thank you for the invite, Olivia. #blackwomentvlawyers #reasonabledoubthulu @kerrywashington @theshawnholley.”
What an incredible gift, Kerry.
