Tracee Ellis Ross is many things. On and off the screen, she is a leading lady. Not merely as an actress. But now, as an executive producer and host of The Hair Tales, alongside Michaela angela Davis and Oprah Winfrey. The series explores the identity of Black women through the metaphor of hair.
"Working with a group of beautiful, joyful, powerful, excellent women was exciting both in talking to them and creating with them. Bringing this show to Oprah Winfrey and being able to not have to spend extra emotional cash describing and explaining and justifying our worth – and the importance of this story – allowed us a lot of space and energy to create something beautiful that I think we've never seen before developing this concept that Michaela had been doing out in the world.
"If you can't find it in the mirror, see if you can find some nugget of that in see yourself mirrored back to you and the beauty of The Hair Tales. The other humble suggestion is to find a tribe of other sisters and women who can see you when you can't see yourself...who can love you when you can't love yourself. And who can mirror that back to you," said Ross.Natachi Mez
While showing up as your whole and authentic self, hair and all should be respected and honored. Ross believes that it should be at one's discretion.with you and yourself, your higher power, your tribe, and your community.""For some of us, we are still living in a world where we are not always accepted as the powerful, beautiful, authentic people that we are. It's a choice you have to make as an individual.
