25:15Now PlayingFrom making her highly anticipated Broadway debut to building a global haircare empire, Tracee Ellis Ross is redefining what it means to step into your ultimate power after 50.
ForbesWomen Editor, Maggie McGrath, sits with Ellis Ross as she shares a wonderfully candid look at her summer Broadway debut in Every Brilliant Thing, revealing how she transforms terror into pure excitement and why she embraces the vulnerability of a completely illuminated, participating audience. She also opens up about the tenacious 10-year journey to launch Pattern Beauty, how she proved the industry wrong by serving an underserved global market, and why doing the right thing is actually "quite lucrative" in business. Above all, Ellis Ross delivers an inspiring, joyful masterclass on why she has always loved getting older, why she wouldn't return to her 20s if you paid her, and what it truly feels like to finally belong to yourself.
