“The act of loving myself, and loving my physical appearance, has been a journey of activism and self-love. “
Tracee Ellis Ross
Okay, she’s not a mom, but isn’t she though? She’s so mom-ish (pun intended). I mean, isn’t she the mom, auntie, older sister that we all wish we had? And if you follow her on instagram, isn’t she the mom, auntie, older sister we kind of DO have?
Despite being the star of the successful tv show Blackish…AND the CEO of her own beauty company, Pattern Beauty…AND daughter of a LEGEND…AND the Carrie Bradshaw of Black Girls EVERYWHERE thanks to her role as Joan Clayton on Girlfriends, she seems so normal, but still iconic. THAT’S A TOUGH COMBO TO PULL OFF!
Tracee doles out positive messages. She never flaunts a “fabulous” life, but rather one of self love and acceptance. She strives to better know herself and encourages us to do the same. She lives her dreams and owns her path. She wants us to celebrate our path and if possible, help pave the way for others. She never hogs the spotlight but rather, holds the spotlight for others to shine. She asks. She never pressures. She always INSPIRES. She pushes against a culture of perfectionism. She is here for inclusivity and leads by example in the fight against pay disparity. And on top of all that, she’s stunning, captivating, beautiful, and has impeccable style.
Did I forget to mention Tracee will be starring in the upcoming movie The High Note (available for streaming May 29th) where she plays a super-star, diva singer. (I don’t know about you, but I will be taking style notes.) And YAAASSS girl, she’s actually SINGING in the movie!

“I feel like style is how you do things not what you wear.”
Tracee Ellis Ross
And thats the whole thing about style…is not everyone’s gonna get it and it doesn’t matter. I really don’t dress for other people. I dress for myself. I dress for my own joy, my own experience.
Tracee Ellis Ross
“My aim, first and foremost, is to wear things that make my heart sing, and that I adore.”

When I’m having a bad day one of my favorite things to do is to go into my closet and play dress up.

We’re in a time that really is embracing of natural beauty and whatever that looks like.
