Summary
- Actress Tracee Ellis Ross prioritizes her own happiness above all else.
- She learned to be 'the chooser' after her role in Girlfriends.
- Ross emphasizes self-responsibility for her emotional well-being.
Tracee Ellis Ross is taking an empowered stance on her personal life, emphasizing that she is "responsible for my own happiness." The actress recently shared insights on the "Baby, This Is Keke Palmer" podcast, discussing her journey after her role in the sitcom "Girlfriends."
Ross portrayed Joan for 173 episodes over eight years, a character who frequently expressed feelings of not being chosen. The actress reflected that this prolonged on-screen experience deeply impacted her, leading her to feel that sense of story within herself.
To counteract this, Ross has publicly spoken about the importance of being "the chooser." She views this conscious effort not just as a public statement, but as an unconscious method of reclaiming agency over her life and narrative. This personal philosophy underscores her commitment to self-determination and emotional well-being.
