Tracee Ellis Ross

A brilliant raconteur and a bold advocate for social change, no-one owns a red-carpet moment quite like Tracee Ellis Ross. And few know how to use those moments in the spotlight to raise issues about equality, representation and calling out sexual violence quite like her. The award-winning actor best known for the boundary-pushing TV sitcom Black-ish is, of course, the daughter of the Motown superstar Diana Ross. In this episode of Pieces of Me, Tracee talks about that extraordinary inheritance, skewering abuse in Hollywood with satire and claiming the right to dress with unapologetic joy: “There is a revolutionary aspect to joy,” she says, “especially as a black woman.” For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Om Podcasten

Pieces of Me is a podcast series from PORTER in which Incredible Women – from Tracee Ellis Ross, Halima Aden and Sam Taylor Johnson to Zainab Salbi – tell their stories through the clothing that they wore at defining moments of their lives. Each week a different inspiring woman takes us “behind the seams” of her extraordinary life. Pieces of Me reminds us that clothes are never just clothes and that the meanings woven through them – about beauty, power, identity, freedom and fashion as a force for change – are the stories of women’s lives.
