Yolonda Ross

We got eyes on The Farm! This episode we are joined by actor Yolonda Ross. You Might Know Her From The Chi, The Get Down, Whitney, Antwone Fisher, Stranger Inside, Treme, Go For Sisters, and How to Get Away with Murder. Yolonda gave us all the scoop about shaving her real head for The Chi, playing Whitney Houston’s alleged girlfriend Robyn Crawford, and cutting her teeth as an extra on Saturday Night Live. Plus, we got into her appearance in the never-before-seen L Word spin-off The Farm, following up her film debut with the Denzel Washington-directed Antwone Fisher, and arriving at her first Indie Spirit Awards on a motorcycle. We just had a ball with Yolonda!
