Your Questions, My Answers: #3 - Tracee Ellis Ross

In this segment, I share about motivation and what I like to call the "May I's".

[@matnicaj1]

"May the space between where I am and where I want to be inspire me." I love this!

[@chevellewilson3890]

Tracee, Tracee, Tracee. I love you girl. I was in tears laughing at the Victorian collar collapse and then you mentioned your quote, which has become one of my favorites. My tears of laughter quickly turned to tears of joy and then into being simply amazed and somehow connected to you and so many other women praying the "may I?" prayer. I'm loving how social media has allowed such a spiritual experience.

[@cicibutler9075]

I'm so glad your here! You feel like my big sister. Thanks for the wisdom.

[@TheFashionGeek100]

Wow, I love your attitude towards life! You really are so cool! Your advice is just so fresh and not full of the cliches we are used to hearing! Thank you for being you!

[@snhereford1]

You're my bestie in my head, I see us sipping mimosas and discussing everything from finances to fashion to faith.Tracee you are EVERYTHING!! You have encouraged me and inspired me!!!

[@ivannas2567]

You're one of the most inspirational people I've come across. As an 18 year old just stepping out into the world you are so kind and insightful. Thank you for all that you do. Keep it coming! You have the power to move people and to get them to listen.

[@JonDavidCroel]

That "May I" example was on point....and I love the correction from "what you have to do"....to "You don't have to do anything"....well played sistah Ross!

[@avmakeme]

I love that you show us the realness behind the celebrity. Just make me like you more. Thanks Tracee!

[@Inspiredbymysistahs]

OMG that collar is hilarious ....sooo funny

[@Workouts32]

Tracee,I love how you answered the last question. It's important to have a sense of the "now".. It's about enjoying the journey and not only hoping to get to the final destination. Because often times the destination changes as we go forward and we evolve.

[@zheahra]

Tracee, I truly appreciate you for acknowledging that everyone is at different places.

[@nanayabiness2018]

"May the space between where i am and where i want to be inspire me". I will never forget this Traci thank you, you don't know how much this video has opened me up. This is exactly what i needed to hear today, I've been feeling like i'm dead inside lately. Thank you and I love you so much.

[@odiesmum2012]

Thank you for that very gentle yet positive motivational prayer.

[@Angiepoo]

Thank you for you wisdom!!!

[@MsMindaMac]

Tracee, Thank you so much for sharing this today! You spoke to me with the "May I's" and will be practicing that in my daily life from this day forth! Thank You!

[@KeenaArtist]

I'm so using this prayer, it is so to the point and clear. I love it......Thanks

[@SummyStout]

I just....oh my goodness. I love you so much and I appreciate how much you embrace who you are and you everyone is around you. More people should do this because it is beautiful!

[@wallaceef]

There really are no words for how your videos make me feel. The second I start listening to you I realize its okay to be me and its okay to be where I am. I can't thank you enough. Endless love. Xoxo .

[@jessicaberry87]

I love the "may I". It's so...present-minded and foreward thinking.

[@jessykapop]

I do wish you had a talk show. I love your personality and you really always make me smile.. thank you

[@mschari1484]

I definitely will be framing that quote "May the space between where i am and where i want to be inspire me" LOVE IT!!!

[@lovecutemakeup]

Hi Tracee, I love this motivational quote. Powerful. I follow you because you inspire me to be greater, I love your poise, your confidence, your grace and you are a powerful woman. Be blessed.

[@tjswann3768]

OMG! I just died laughing at that collar. Can't believe you acknowledge it falling.

[@SweetSerenity2004]

OMG Traceeeee "may the space between where I am and where I wabt to be inspire me...I use may I as a gentle invitation to where I want to go but it still honors where I am." Such beautiful words... it sounds like a prayer, hope you don't mind me sharing. I love it

[@brownie0605]

I absolutely love your videos...they are so inspiring. Def food for thought on the last part about "the space between where I am and where I want to be...."

[@CyberPrinceton]

The concept of honoring where "you're" at is so simple yet many don't understand.

[@fearfullyw0nderful]

beautiful message :) so applicable to just about everyone. It's nice to know that even celebrities who seem to have it all still have moments where they strive for where they want to be

[@wendyk6081]

Tracee, thank you so much for these videos. I'm so glad I'm finally getting round to watching them! Please do more, they're hugely appreciated!! You're such a great inspiration to me :) Thank you again.

[@UpstanderEffect]

HAHAHAHA!!! What happened to my Victorian collar? Made me LOL. Tracee is such a beautiful person.

[@avril4412]

Wow, this is amazing, trying to get to the future is what everybody wants. You have to honor your present. Thank You

[@a4evayoung]

Tracee!!!! The last part of your video is just what I need to hear... Honor where I am...never thought about that.. I'm always striving for the next thing... Therefore potentially missing the magic moments of the now....thank you for sharing& opening eyes. Best to you

[@biancadatgurl]

I love you tracee Ellis I hope that you get everything in life you are so beautiful inside and out

[@damita1966]

Thank you Tracee. I needed that.

[@supervirtuouswoman]

You are so beautiful, I appreciate your honesty and making yourself available to answer our questions. You are a gem:)

[@LoversLaine]

Refreshing! Thank you for this!

[@michboyd10]

May thw space between where I am and where I want to be inspire me. Tracee Ellis Ross

[@TABULOUS1]

Gettin'a little addicted to these. I'd have done the last one (on aging) a little different, ithink, but your openness within ur answers are pretty compelling since there is no absolute correct answer, and yet the sharing of your personal truths (should) encourages others to explore their own.... Diggin'it.

[@pattysdaughter5639]

You are such an awesome women. Thanks for sharing your words of wisdom!

[@ebirving1982]

I ♥ that prayer!

[@reneeout0414]

[@tiffnic79]

[@okhipster]

I needed to hear this way of thinking, today. Thank you :D

[@kcat200]

Keep churning out the answers please! I love this series:)

[@ginala49]

I just stumbled across this in looking for natural hair solutions, and became hooked with Tracee's chatting with us GF's....wow...how damn cool is this...I have always dug Ms. Ross in the media, and this blog spot is just cool and real...yeah I agree with TriniCurli...Ms. Ross - an Internet chat show flipped into a talk show that goes back and forth between studio and live or on blog would be a cool concept.. Thanks for the cool advice and sharing..

[@jdholmes1275]

I agree she SHOULD have a show, I think she should visit us & share her insight with us in person, solving problems, lending a hand, giving hugs... like those nanny shows but she's gotta bring Michael lol! I'd love to have her light, energy & honesty in my home either in person or for an hour once a week! Just a thought... Keep up the good work ;))

[@AbrielDelaney]

Exactly what I needed to hear.

[@jeimonroe]

We really do love && appreciate you.

[@anaointa]

Dear Tracee - Absolutely love your videos. How do you build confidence, as a woman and as a human being?

[@Demahevans]

Just fyi I will be turning 19 next week, the 23rd!!! SO here's the question: How do you turn your dreams, ambitions, or interests into goals that can be reached within the future? I am interested in modifying global human rights laws, ameliorating the public American education system, as well as caring for women and children who have been abused. I love and dream of doing so much that I don't even know where to begin in regards to setting career and life goals. Thanks for your help!

[@michboyd10]

I - Love - It.

[@peacelovenmelons]

another Thank you!

[@valhalla1240]

I just recently realised that a lot of my own unhapiness is caused by standards I set for myself that aren't measured by me, but by what society puts in front of me. But there is just no way I will ever be that woman. I can only be versions of me.

[@Faaade_]

Dear Ms. Tracee Ellis Ross, Can you please do traveling seminars! I would totes come!!!
