This Speech Proves Tracee Ellis Ross Is the Life Coach You Never Knew You Needed
Tracee Ellis Ross might have won a Golden Globe for her breakout performance as 'Bow' on Blackish and launched a clothing line with JC Penney, but in her speech at Glamour's 2017 Women of the Year Summit, she revealed that the world around her often doesn't support all she's achieved.
"It's really interesting to be a woman, and to get to 45, and to not be married, and to not have kids. Especially when you’ve pushed out five kids on TV," she said onstage. That interesting part? According to Ross, it's fielding question after question about when she'll finally have kids and get married.
But Ross isn't here for dated expectations of womanhood: She's perfectly fine being single at 45, thanks. Ross used the rest of her speech to explore four little words that changed her outlook: "My life is mine. Those words stopped me in my tracks," Ross said. "Those words brought tears to my ears because, yes, I’ve been living my life—but not to my own expectations. Not for me."
After writing those words in her journal, Ross said she changed her perspective. "I've become a woman that I am very proud to be," she stated to applause. For her, fulfillment comes from the life she has now. "I’ve decided to own my moment and my training bras. I’m going to make an experience of the good and yucky parts," she said.

She is so bomb. I loved her outfits. Even the one she wore during the opener.
She did a great job. I felt bad, it looked like her eye was bothering her.
I did notice that about her eye too.
I think those multiple costume changes was also a tribute to her mother from back in the day when she hosted the AMAs. She changed about 400x. I remember that from when I was a kid.

I like that she can laugh at herself ... its a great quality.
This was one of my two favourite looks from this years Golden Globes (my other fav being Zoe Kravitz). She looks gorgeous!

I get what she's going for but she's approaching time to retire that heavy bottom dark liner. It's again her.
