Kerry Washington On The Pressure To Be “Exceptional” | OWN Spotlight | OWN

OWN published this video item, entitled “Kerry Washington On The Pressure To Be “Exceptional” | OWN Spotlight | OWN” – below is their description.

Oprah invites Emmy-winning actress and political activist Kerry Washington to her home to talk about her new memoir, Thicker Than Water. It’s a fascinating, far-reaching conversation with a talented woman who is very high profile in the public eye but also notably private about her personal life. In this very revealing OWN Spotlight Kerry Washington opens up about enduring difficult childhood trauma, her struggles with her own body image and mental health, and the revelation of a shocking family secret that changed the trajectory of her life. She also candidly shares with Oprah her battles with a painful eating disorder and suicidal thoughts. Kerry details the night that brought her to her knees and explains how acting saved her life in many ways, including the iconic role of Olivia Pope which she says pulled her from “the darkest corners” of herself. Kerry also explains her strong connection with water, her spiritual partnership with her husband and why at 46 years old, she’s learned how to find peace within.
