Tracee Ellis Ross says that her mother, Diana Ross, taught her the joy of being alone

• Tracee Ellis Ross says that her mother, Diana Ross, inspired her to find the joy and the meaning to be alone.

• She says that her mother gave an example that showed her that she “did not need a man” to build the life she wanted.

• Although she is happy alone, Ross says that she is trying to meet a partner.

Traceee Ellis Ross, 52, said that she did not wait for a partner to feel loved and attributes to her mother, Diana Ross, for having taught her to build a significant life alone.

In an interview with Self Magazine published Tuesday, the actor spoke of practicing personal care and knowing how she learned to be comfortable by herself.

“I come from a lot of abundance, but all the abundance that I like is mine, which I built,” Ross told Self Magazine. “And the construction of my own life made me very aware of what my mother built by herself and what it took to do it.”

Ross is the eldest of two children from Diana Ross’s wedding with music director Robert Ellis Silberstein. She also has an older half-sister of her mother’s relationship with the founder of Motown, Berry Gordy, and two younger half-brothers from her mother’s second marriage.

Ross said that his mother’s success had inspired her to do the same.

“”[My mom] did not build the wealth she has, she did not build the career she made because of a man. The example that was defined for me [was] That I didn’t need a man to build the life I wanted. It was not: “look at me”, it was: “it’s me”. And that informed something very important for me in a seillard, “said Ross.

Being comfortable alone begins with an in-depth understanding of how to take care of itself.

“Knowing how to take care of yourself is also how you teach someone how you want to be treated. I spent a large part of my life to know who I am,” said Ross.

“My favorite place is inside my body, to be present in my skin,” added the actor “black-ish”.

Although Ross is happy alone, she says she is always open to love and is looking for a partner.

“What it doesn’t bother me is to be a poster child to live your life according to your own conditions, not to wait for the partnership to find joy and happiness, to organize and cultivate your own sense of self,” said Ross.

Ross says that she is looking for a partnership based on equal meeting.

“I want a whole life and I want a real life, and I want a real life, and I want a partner who is not going to sweep me away, but will bind my weapons. And that might not happen, and it’s okay,” she said.

A Ross representative told Business Insider that the actor had no additional comments.

During an appearance on the “IMO” podcast by Michelle Obama in April, Ross said that she prefers to go out with younger men because men her age are often “imbued with toxic masculinity”.

“I have long passed the age when I have the impression that it is my job to teach someone or to grow them,” said Ross. “I don’t interest me.”

Ross joins a growing list of women who have spoken out openly to find a meaning in the bachelor.

During an appearance “calling his dad” in early July, Charlize Theron said that being a single mother was “one of the healthiest decisions” she has ever taken.

“With women, it’s always like,” something is wrong with her. She cannot keep a man. “And that is never part of the discussion on the part:” Wow, she really lives her truth.

The Social Sciences and Author Bella Depaulo, now in the 1970s, told Business Insider last year that she felt “the happiest and most fulfilled life as a single person”.

“There are so many different types of love that romantic love. There is love for friends, mentors and teammates, as well as love for your work and your passions. And when we think about this way, who are how many people who think about it, there is a lot of love in our lives,” said Depaulo.
