Legendary musician Diana Ross has marked her 80th birthday, and in celebration of her mother’s life and contributions to music, actress Tracee Ellis Ross took to Instagram with a celebratory post.
“Oh how I love you Mom. 80 incredible pictures of you in 80 seconds to celebrate your 80th birthday today. I’m Coming Out. This was at a time when women couldn’t apply for credit or serve on a jury and didn’t have access to birth control but could get fired for being pregnant. (Mind blown),” Tracee posted on Instagram.
Tracee also provided insight into Diana’s tender motherly nature.
“What’s not available on Google is that she was also waking us up for school (she is the best waker-upper), having family dinner and bath time, recording while we slept, planning our birthday parties, play dates, doctor’s appointments, settling arguments between siblings…you know, all the mom stuff,” she stated.

The 51-year-old Black-ish actress added that “we, her children, were always her priority, even shattering records, breaking glass ceilings, and setting a new bar for style and glamour.” As I say all the time, “Diana Ross, the well-liked global icon, is legendary, but she’s no match for my Mama.”
