As her glowing resume continues to expand, the multi-hyphenate talent has not only made her name on television through the once-popular FX television series. Ross is a producer, singer-songwriter, LGBTQ organizer, and activist.
“People are constantly looking outside of themselves for definitions, for blame, for support,” explained Ross to Inc. sharing life lessons. “I’ve learned that looking outside of yourself is an incorrect way to practice this thing called life. You can find all you need within yourself.”
She added, “I started to reject the scoreboard of bank account balances and credit scores, which are supposed to determine what my value is.”
