Tracee Ellis Ross is a talented, funny, educated, stylish, and she’s over 40 and single with no kids.
In 2017 Ross spoke about the never-ending pressure on women “of a certain age” to have a family. That being “chosen and having kids are what makes you worthy” of your womanhood.
Sounds archaic, unfortunately, it’s still a fact. Despite a woman’s numerous accomplishments judgment of a woman’s worth still often boils down to two things: marriage and kids.
Even in 2018, releasing oneself of society’s expectation for a woman to find her worth within the constructs of home and family can be frustrating.
However, Ross continues to demonstrate that there is no crisis. That husband plus child does not equal woman. We are enough all by ourselves.
