I love childless men and women, the same way I love mothers and fathers with kids. No difference

“You don’t have to push out a baby to push humanity forward” is a brilliant line.

I'm an adoptive parent. Thank you!!!

Thank you Traci for stating this so eloquently.

[ladydia]

I was applauding when she said this. 😊

I don't want to be a mother but love supporting my friends who have children.
Most families need support and a network these days and I couldn't do it if I had children on my own.
I work in child protection and I don't think I'd have the nerve to do my job if I had children at home....
So I agree 100%

Sometimes it takes the adults in the room to stand and say ENOUGH

Shout out to my mom’s 2 sisters, Auntie Kesha and Auntie April who supported us financially, made sure we were on track academically, attended field trips when my mom and dad could not make it, and now that my sister & I have graduated from college and have entered corporate America, both Auntie’s are now our mentors to make sure we have successful careers. I’m honored that both aunts felt that we, their godchildren and students were enough in which we are truly grateful.

My children have the most beautiful aunt, and she never been married never had children. She is a school teacher. She helps the handicapped children with disabilities. She goes to church mass twice a week. She’s kind and giving and loves her nephews. She talks to them. She’s a wonderful, humble & caring aunt. 💟

Thank you. I'm a 56 yr old childless woman, by choice, and never, ever had any regrets. I'm an auntie and a great auntie and I love my nieces and nephew very much and I'm a sister. That's fulfilling enough for me, 💙💙

[weareallone]

Yes, indeed! I couldn’t agree more! Thank you, Tracee Elliss Ross!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I concur. Giving birth does not validate your self worth as a woman, neither does marriage. There are many childless women who have made significant contributions to elevate society.

Studies show women over the age of 55 who have never married and have never had children are the healthiest and happiest people. I believe it. I’m one of them.

Intelligent women know there’s more to life than serving a man your entire life and making sure his needs are met. It’s so good to have a choice. Find what makes you happy and do that.

Ms. Ross has said it so very eloquently. Couldn't have said it any better ❤❤❤❤
They should use it in an Ad, because this is so so true.

"Women have electoral power" Supreme Court will be shocked ABOUT THAT POWER

[anaamore]

Girl I’m mothering at my store trying to uplift the younger generation. It’s in our souls, to nurture and teach. Women are a necessity and invaluable.

POWERFUL MESSAGE!!!
TO ALL AMAZING WOMEN.❤❤❤
LADIES LET'S CONTINUE TO PUSH HUMANITY FORWARD.

My aunt Dottie never married and never had a child. She helped my parents raise us as she helped all her nieces and nephews. She bought my school clothes, took me to the hair dresser every two weeks, taught me how to make potato salad and other dishes, corrected me when I was wrong and was there from the day I was born til the day she died. She was an amazing aunt and mother to all her nieces and nephews.

[Josette]

I chose not to have children, and I don't regret it. I knew I wouldn't be a good mother, and I didn't want to be one. I am many other things to many people and animals. Kudos to all the great mothers out there, and Kudos to all the women without children. We are all on this earth for a reason, and we all have importance and worth.
