challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

I already loved Kerry Washington and listening to this book just made me love and appreciate her and her work so much more. Kerry was very vulnerable with her life experiences, exploring identity, belonging, complex family relationships, trauma, physical and mental health, and parenthood. Her own narration for the audiobook was icing on the cake.

I really liked learning more about Kerry Washington. I like her as an actress and love how she keeps her children out of the limelight. But this is my absolute last actor turned author memoir. It’s an over saturated genre and I’m over it.
