Lifestyle magazine Marie Claire welcomed over 200 powerful women for a 36-hour “pop-up” conference, dubbed the #PowerTrip, at the W Hotel San Francisco.
“black•ish” starlet Tracee Ellis Ross and fashion mogul Tyra Banks were amongst the panelists to dish on feminism, the unique experience of being a woman in the work force, and women empowerment.
While dishing on the “F” word, Tracee said people who don’t like the word feminism confuse her.
“I think I had a sort of peripheral relationship to it,” Tracee said about not totally understanding the word in her younger years. “Everyone thought feminism was a dirty word, and I never really understood why.”
Now that she’s older, the 43-year-old actress said she’s a proud feminist.
“It means you believe in the equality for everyone," Tracee said. "If you look back at what I believe and what I stand for, I am certainly a proud feminist.”
Tracee, who looked just as stunning as her words, discussed how she’d switch out a laundry basket for a laptop on her hit ABC comedy series to help portray her character on the show more accurately. She also talked about the concept of beauty and how her journey of self-acceptance could be chronicled through her hair.
“When I let my hair do what it did, I gained a level of self-acceptance,” said Tracee. “We are so quick to compare ourselves to other people, and it’s a bummer.”
Tyra also joined a panel with Moj Mahdara and Bethany Mota
