Summary

GP sat down with Kerry Washington in front of a live audience, and they started reminiscing about going to the same all-girls school in New York City. They talked about how their education shaped the trajectory of their lives in different ways (and also about that time Jennifer Lopez was Washington’s dance teacher). Washington told us why her heart breaks a little for her eleven-year-old self and what it was like learning to navigate her feelings. She talked about the role race plays in her life and in one of her newest projects, American Son, a Broadway play turned Netflix feature. And they talked about the other roles they’ve played as actors, mothers, and stepmothers—and the experience of stepping into your power as a woman.

It desire to explore and experiment, and to ask questions and listen for the answers you

don't know. Banana Republic is another company that values curiosity. Their founding story

0:50.7

starts with a California couple who was looking for an adventure, and when we got together

with Banana Republic on this special podcast series, they wanted to explore the idea of

living a life with no boundaries. This is the inspiration behind their clothing today.

It drives how they source materials from around the world and how they design and innovate

When you are pioneering anything or introducing new ideas to the culture, you get criticized.

1:36.4

You do? Yeah, did you hear about that?

1:39.3

I didn't find the one. I found someone I respected and we made it the one. In the sort of longing

1:45.2

kind of view of love, people understand each other as if by magic.

1:49.5

Nothing in itself is addictive on the one hand and in the hand everything could be addictive
