Tracee Ellis Ross's Acceptance Speech

Taking home the award for Best Actress for her role in Black-ish, Tracee Ellis Ross gave a heartfelt speech about representation. 

“This is for all of the women, women of color and colorful people, whose stories, ideas, thoughts are not always considered worthy, and valid and important. But I want you to know that I see you. We see you. 

It is an honor to be on this show, ‘black-ish,’ to continue expanding the way we are seen and known, and to show the magic and the beauty and the sameness of a story, and stories that are outside of where the industry usually looks.”
