another in 2009, in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress in a
Comedy Series. Tracee is currently starring in and co-producing the
BET sitcom Reed Between the Lines opposite Malcolm Jamal Warner. In
October, Tracee appeared in Lifetime’s short film series Project 5
in the film Lili directed by Alicia Keys. Tracee recently cohosted
GMHC’s 2011 Fashion Forward, which featured top designers. She is
an undeniably graceful force and is described as a “trend setter
with signature style,” and a woman “gracefully redefining the
rules for success.”

“We could not be happier for Tracee Ellis Ross to join the EMERGE!
Team this year as a co-host,” states EMERGE! producer Dionne
Williams. “This event has grown faster than any of us ever
expected. Tracee is truly the epitome of elegance and was hands down,
the perfect choice.”
