Tracee Ellis Ross Calls Out Societal Pressure to Get Married

In a 2017 speech for Glamour‘s Women of the Year Summit, Tracee didn’t hold back when describing what it was like to have questions about her personal life sometimes feel like it overshadowed her achievements.
 
“It’s really interesting to be a woman and to get to 45 and not be married and not have kids,” she said at the time. “I’m a good friend, a solid daughter, a hard worker, my credit is good, I take out the garbage before it gets smelly, I recycle, and I won a Golden Globe!” She went on to share that people still tell her that “it’s never too late” to have children in order to bring “meaning” to her life, stating, “As if all that I have done and who I am doesn’t matter.”
