1.Kerry Washington covers Marie Claire’s Identity Issue

Marie Claire’s special print issue, the Identity Issue, is here—with a suitably special cover star to match. Kerry Washington graces the mag in a stunning editorial feature and engaging interview, delving into topics like parenting, on-representation, embracing her 40s, and her new Hulu dramedy UnPrisoned. On the subject of navigating balance and dealing with any negativity that comes her way, she says things like “prayer, meditation, therapy, and journaling” are key. “I have to be doing that work,” she says. “As an executive, entrepreneur, parent, wife, for me to show up in those places requires that I’m willing to constantly be doing self-inventory and face my stuff. If I’m in a place of faith, self-love, and radical acceptance, shit doesn’t bother me.

I can take a risk, and whether it goes well or doesn’t, I’m good. It’s about the journey, letting go of the result, and trusting your lane is yours. But if I’m not doing the work to be in a faithful place, then it’s much harder.” She adds how important it is for her to chose projects that impact and shift culture—like her lead role on Scandal, which made her the first Black woman to play a main character in a network drama since the ’70s. “Even in the beginning of my career, I would say I’d rather work another shift at the restaurant than do a movie that is going to be bad for women or Black people,” she recalls.
