Tracee Ellis Ross is a revered actress and co-CEO of Pattern, the haircare company she founded in 2019. Ross’ newest endeavor is her new show that follows along as she travels the world on her own, embraces her individuality, and skirts the societal expectations for women in their 50s.
At 52, Ross sometimes feels the weight of other people’s opinions — positive and negative — about her being unpartnered and child-free.
On her show, Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross, she takes viewers along as she goes from destination to destination by herself, and aims to shift that narrative that others tend to have about her life, by leaning into solitude.
“I mean Oprah said it, she said I’m the poster child for singledom. I don’t wanna be that,” Ross says in show’s the first episode. “I wanna be the poster child for being and inhabiting your own skin, for living in your own skin.”
The series is available on the Roku Channel and in the show’s three episodes, Ross travels to Morocco, Mexico and Spain.
