Tracee Ellis Ross Instagram – “I know the expansiveness of Blackness. And the value of what we create. A Black founder can make products that are for everybody. A Black founder should be the one to determine who their customer is. The system should not. We cannot let people tell us who we should be or what we have to offer.” ~ my favorite words from my acceptance speech THANK YOU to @aurorajames and @emmagrede of @15percentpledge for naming me a trailblazer and bestowing me with such a special honor and for the important work you are doing to create fundamental change in the retail space and helping to bridge the wealth gap. You ladies are blazing an incredible trail. @erikaalexanderthegreat, you are the prototype and I’m honored to call you my friend. Thank you for introducing me so beautifully. I’d like you to write my memoir for me cuz gurllll you can fashion some language. Eternally grateful. Thank you to my mind bogglingly amazing team. What a ride we’re on. Feels like a rocket ship. And thank you to @realevanross for holding my hand.
