Summary

Oprah invites Emmy-winning actress and political activist Kerry Washington to her home to talk about her new memoir, Thicker Than Water. In this revealing conversation, the notably private Washington opens up about enduring difficult childhood trauma, her struggles with her own body image, mental health, and the revelation of a shocking family secret that changed the trajectory of her life. Kerry 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. Want more podcasts from OWN?
