If there’s anyone who can turn a suitcase, a silk robe, and a solo ticket into an empowering experience, it’s Tracee Ellis Ross. And now, she’s giving us front row seats to her newest adventure.
Announced on July 25 at the Travel and Leisure Summit, Tracee officially launched her brand new travel series titled “Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross” on Roku. The series is more than just an itinerary of dream destinations. It’s a bold, personal, and stylish journey into the world of solo travel, especially through the lens of Black womanhood.
Travelling Alone, But Never Lonely
Let’s get one thing clear. Tracee Ellis Ross is no stranger to taking the road less traveled. She’s been showing us for years how to live loudly and unapologetically, from her career in Hollywood to her beauty brand Pattern. But this series feels more personal. This is Tracee letting us into her world behind the camera; the joy, vulnerability, glamour, and freedom that comes with booking that ticket for one.
Each episode blends fashion, culture, and self care as Tracee explores new cities by herself but never in isolation. She connects with local creatives, finds joy in the small moments of unfamiliar places, and reflects on what it truly means to explore the world on your own terms.
Pattern in Motion
During the summit, Tracee also shared updates about the continued growth of her textured haircare line, Pattern Beauty, which celebrates its fifth year this year. It’s no coincidence that Pattern and her travel show made headlines at the same time. They speak the same language; self expression, confidence, and embracing who you are wherever you are.
In Solo Traveling, you’ll see how her beauty rituals move with her. Silk wraps, deep conditioners, and quiet moments of self reflection are all part of the journey. It’s a reminder to Black women that your self care is never something you leave behind.
A Love Letter to Black Women Who Roam
There’s something deeply powerful about this show that Black women will immediately recognize. It’s a call to explore, to protect your peace, to break the rules and make new ones. For too long, solo travel has been romanticized but rarely through the eyes of a Black woman. Tracee’s series doesn’t just change the narrative, it takes ownership of it.
She is not asking for permission. She is not waiting for the perfect travel companion. She is not dimming her light to fit into unfamiliar spaces. And that’s exactly the kind of energy 2025 needs.
The Fashion, Of Course
You already know Tracee brought the fashion. From dramatic sunglasses to perfectly styled outfits that echo the vibe of each destination, her wardrobe is just as intentional as her itinerary.
Her looks aren’t just for photos. They tell stories. They reflect mood, location, and self-expression. Think vacation luxury with a soulful edge. It’s fun, elegant, and deeply personal.
A Passport and a Mirror
“Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross” is a mirror. It makes you pause and ask yourself: what am I waiting for? Maybe you’ve been daydreaming about a solo trip to Morocco, Paris, or Bali. Maybe you’ve been waiting for the right time or the right person to go with.
Tracee’s show offers a powerful answer. You are the time. You are the person.
So go ahead. Pack your satin pillowcase. Charge your journal. And go explore the world, just like Tracee does; one city, one outfit, and one empowering moment at a time.
