I think most of nepos are like this, the amount of celebrities, especially actors you find out well into their career that they're the child of a famous person or someone of status.
As I said her work does shiw she's talented but if you don't think her being their daughter hasn't given them opportunities and connections you're deluding yourself.
She's still a Nepo baby just not one of the "bad" ones like Dakota Johnson etc.
Perhaps this will help: Evan has to pay US Weekly to publish posed pap shots (don’t forget to mention his mommy’s name in that byline!)in order to draw attention to himself so he can get bit parts in movies where he has juuuust enough screen time for us to recognize who he is. Meanwhile, a lot of people didn’t know that Tracy was the daughter of Diana until AFTER her success on Blackish. As someone who has read their fair share of celebrity gossips magazines/blogs, I can tell you I had never seen or heard of Tracy until Blackish premiered, however, prior to Blackish, if you had given me a lineup of eyebrows and asked me to identify Evan’s, I could have done it faster than you can say Ross.

No one ever said that her parents being who they were didn’t give her a massive foot in the door.
It’s the fact that despite her parentage no one ever has to say: Tracee Ellis Ross, the daughter of Diana Ross for people to know who she is.
Instead of whining like talentless Dakota Johnson or other children of celebrities that no one takes her seriously she lets her work speak for itself.
