@emilitadcruz I’m loving the feature with Lupita Nyong’o and Saoirse Ronan’s take on strong women.

TEAM TRACEE

I so agree with Tracee Ellis Ross [ELLE Celebrity, September 2018]. If being a wife or mother is what it means to be defined as a real woman, there’s definitely something wrong. You have to be strong, confident and 1,000 percent truly happy with your choices. I am in a space where I’m over the fairy tale of walking down the aisle in a dress that I’ll only wear once. I’m saying “I do” to me, my dreams, my ambitions and my goals. My life is mine. I say enough of living under what others deem is my destiny. @lineimogul, Instagram

REAL TALK

Tracee Ellis Ross, you give the best interviews! It’s like I’m right there, and I learn something new every time. So uplifting. @StacyACurrie, Twitter

IT’S ABOUT TIME

I’m loving all this melanin [on fashion magazine] covers of late! Representation matters, and it’s nice to see more of it. Waiting for the day when it becomes the norm. @talldknluvly, Twitter
