Tracee Ellis Ross Says Growing Up As Diana Ross’ Daughter Was As Awesome As We Imgained It To Be

We’re huge Tracee Ellis Ross fans around these parts. The “Black-ish” actress is talented, stylish, and was birthed by Diana Ross. Need we say more?

Furthermore, the 42-year-old star is also a well of amazing knowledge and comic relief. So when she speaks, we listen — and we often let out an resounding “Amen!” after each message. Like the time she told us to stop wanting her hair and start loving our own. Or when she waxed poetic about the awesomeness of our bodies. And let’s not forget that this chick (aka #TMurda) can actually rap.

On being Diana Ross’ daughter:

Well, my mom was very glamorous, but that was her work world. Our home was filled with beautiful things. My mom had beautiful clothes; my mom is elegant; my mom is glamorous. But my mom is also really real, and I grew up with a mother who had babies crawling on her head and spitting up on her when she was wearing gorgeous, expensive things, and it was never an issue.
