Diana Ross Raised a Woman Who Doesn't Need Your Approval, Men

Tracee Ellis Ross, proudly flying solo at 52, credits her mother Diana Ross for showing her 'I didn’t need a man to build the life I wanted.' She’s all about self-care and ‘being present in my skin,’ but don’t get it twisted—she’s still open to love, just not desperate for someone to 'sweep me off my feet.' Apparently, toxic masculinity ages men faster than their birth certificates because Tracee now prefers dating younger guys who aren’t steeped in it. It's independence with a wink: 'That might not happen, and that’s OK.'
