Whenever I watch interviews or listen to podcasts, you can listen to people, how they act, and in moments you can tell whether or not they're legitimately decent, crappy, or they're playing at it for appearances. She's legit good people. Best wishes to her family and her.
While its true that its possible to observe the way people behave & make some educated guesses about them, the majority of people aren't great at that, especially when they can't ask the person any questions. There are so many disciplines to be well versed in, including psychology, sociology, wisdom, experience, body language, microexpressions, good mental health & coping tools, & more. One way that someone without those disciplines can still be good at analyzing people is through their own trauma, meaning if someone grew up in abuse, they often become hypervigilant, meaning constantly aware & on edge for danger & threats, & they can become very good at reading other people's behavior as a coping skill to avoid the abuse. There can be less useful results from abuse though as well, some people can learn to avoid the abuse by becoming abusive, reclusive, etc, & that can impact their ability to analyze others, making them see things in a constant negative, suspicious light. But like the other comment says, when looking at professional actors, there is the fact that they are adept at playing a part, which can include their public persona which can be different from their private behavior.

@@jiubboatman9352 Yeah I know. Not really possible to fake it for a camera. There's a big difference between suspension of disbelief and being unaware. On a more serious note, if you watch people pretending on TV/film and think they talk like normal people.. :| Christ on a crack binge behind a Walmart that's not a good sign.

@@nicholasschoonbeck6866 (Apologies for length. I'm just thorough with my thoughts is all.) I agree with a lot of that. I personally went through a lot so I did learn to pay attention to people growing up and be on the look out. With that, I learned quite a lot of people don't have a healthy sense of disbelief in regards to media and entertainment. They either fall short and can't let things go, or fly far past it being unable to separate media/story/actor/fantasy from real people and reality to the point they suspect and attribute everything others do to being a character. We watch so much entertainment media that the pretend behavior is more recognized as the default, and anything that contradicts our default (depending on what media you consume most) must be an act with nefarious intent attached.
I miss seeing you on my TV screen every week, Kerry Washington!!!! God bless you on the book and I'll be getting copies for all of us (we have a huge family book club)! 🤗
Family book club sounds like a cool idea!! Btw, can your family do a thing on banned books? Maybe share it a bit with neighbors? Might be a great way to put an end to that horrible movement? Stay awesome. 📚🗽📚
She is such a beautiful woman and I don’t just mean on the outside either ! I love hearing about books more than movies or tv as I don’t watch those much at all , I’m glad that at least the actors strike gives us an opportunity to learn more about the actors than just the next Hollywood project !
She is exquisite. I was adopted, and met my biological mother a few years ago. I am happy I didn't grow up with her, she is awful. My adoptive parents had (and have) their own issues, but I am lucky to have had the opportunity to get clear of that woman.
Having grown up with an absent father, I can tell you, if you're lucky enough to have had the love of a dad who stood in for your father, you're doubly blessed. Though I lacked even this, I became this for the children I've raised, none of whom I'm genetically related to, and stand in dad to one of my children's school friends, who also labeled me dad.
So glad that we might....might...be approaching a time when societal pressures and the cult of failure that stalks young males of color might be improving. Because sometimes, many times, there are reasons that people leave. What if we could be a nation that supports families of all colors with a fair tax code that doesn't prioritize billionaires over the obscene numbers of women and children who are living in poverty. 🗽
thats the thing. nobody cares about the family to keep it together. if the dad said that he wanted the family to stick together but somehow didn’t thats the mom fault. and vice versa. its a good chance that the women did not love him that deeply to begin with.
Hi! I'm also donor-conceived, and it's so lovely to hear stories like ours. My parents told me when I was very young, and it was just a cool story, the sort of anecdote I could bring out at parties. It didn't impact our relationship at all - my dad is still my dad, even though (with the help of genetic companies and my 30+ known siblings!) I'm now in contact with my donor. I firmly believe family is who you choose it to be, and her joy and honesty and openness in sharing her donor-conceived story is so, so valuable for other DC folks. Thank you! 💖
I adore Kerry and will definitely read this one. Surprise, I didn’t know that I was adopted until 9 years ago 😮 How lucky with lessons and blessings ❤ And I am beginning to understand that the donation situation was somehow a part of my life as well… What is hidden will always come to light. Two amazing people on the same stage this morning😂 A beautiful mood was created Thank you ❤
I can't wait to see her "Finding Your Roots" episode now. Love that show! Just realized what a good guest Dr. Gates would be for Stephen. I can't recall if he's been on. I loved the FYR episode with Stephen.
This woman is _46!_ I know that only because I just looked her up. I would _never_ have guessed it from seeing her. She _looks_ like she's in her twenties.
"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" is the actual saying, the opposite meaning to what it devolved into, "blood is thicker than water".
I think there always should be a way of keeping the informations about a donor or a genitor who wants to remain anonymous. This said, parents should also talk with their children about their origin quite early. The chances might not be very high but still children having the same father or mother can fall in love and have an incestuous relationship without knowing. That could really be tragic!
Her dad that raised her is not her "stepdad", and can you imagine how hurt that man would be to hear some anonymous sperm donor be called her "real dad". How rude and totally tactless. Yuck. 😠
I have a friend who's mom is white and she was engaged to a Black man, and one night they got into a huff. She needed to blow off some steam so she went to the bar. Nine months later my friend comes out a stark white redhead. The guy she played pool with that night was Irish.
Nice. Gimme one more come back. Set up. When she was sixteen she ran a traffic light on a left hand turn and they got a photo. The photo was her taking a 5th of JD to the head like a porn star. Lost her license for 5 years. @@jeffreysalley
They should have been allowed to take it to their graves and left Kerry a letter to be opened upon their deaths. She opened them up to the evil trolls.
How about interviewing an author who doesn't have easy connections and endless money? Being an author is hard. For about 99% of authors who aren't already multi-millionaire celebrities. Just sayin!
They’re still may not be telling the truth. Take the Ancestry DNA test anyway😊. Especially, if they were going to take that to their graves. Ijs🥰. It could be a high school sweetheart or someone from the old neighborhood. All parents have/keep secrets from their kids.
Kerry was born in 1977, she is 46 years old. She is right that using a sperm donor to conceive was like the "wild west". Donor information was inexact, no DNA available so there were risks of genetic disorders, or inherited diseases. As anyone can clearly see, Kerry was fortunate to receive superior genes, but more importantly to be raised by loving and committed Father and Mother. Mom didn't lie, she loved.
For a very long time, actors of all genders have preferred the term "actor" to apply to all. This really isn't new at all. Not sure why this offends you. It is their profession. They should be allowed to use terms that they can get behind. Sorry they didn't ask your permission first??📽️🎭📽️
No need to share this. She has a problem with oversharing. She is just not that likable period. She says and does desperate things. And takes on desperate roles. Huge disinformation onto blck women’s lives and how we are viewed. Isnt there cheating scandals with her husband too? Just be quiet.
My late father used to say "Blood is may be thicker than water, but LOVE is thicker than blood".
Wise man.
❤
And nothing is thicker than a Shake Shack shake
My Dad used to say me and my brother were thicker than pig shit.

You can tell when an actor is being legit? Does that make them a bad actor?

That "Oh god" as the phrasing of "I don't think you could do me well" hits her is some solid accidental comedy.
It was hilarious 😂😂😂
The real key to circumstances like hers is good parenting. If you are a good parent, your family can survive something like this & be ok.

Can you imagine the doner watching Kerry on screen and thinking 🤔 "huh she kinda looks like me.... Naw couldn't be"
That was my same thought! In a way, it reminds me of the ending of the movie *They Cloned Tyron.* 🤣😅

She’s so elegantly hot and graceful.
Love from Germany ❤
Kerry! I LOVE/WANT that FABULOUS necklace!!!!♥️☮️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
That woman is the whole package.
She's charming and beautiful.
She been my celebrity crush since Django
She is criminally beautiful
I love her outfit she looks so beautiful!
She still can pull off that lengerie from I think I love my wife. This woman is timeless.
Finding your roots already had to tell one guy his father was other than he thought.
She will always be Lil Troublemaker to me. Django loved her so much.
I love this intelligent black woman.
Fabulosity.
Quite often sperm donors were Med students.
What a cute outfit
She's so pretty
Gladiators 4Life!!!!
Such a cool guest!
She could be Lynn Whitfields daughter… both are stunning imo
So damn gorgeous

Great necklace, though I kept wanting to reach out and center the round part. Maybe my OCD? Anyway, I've missed this show so much.

Joy Bryant's husband is called Dave *Pope* and I feel like that's some level of inception shit right there 😂😂
