There is a reason why the name Kerry Washington is on the lips of everyone. Besides being such a beautiful, stylish, talented and socially conscious woman, she is the also the lead actress in the American hit show, political drama, Scandal, playing the role of Olivia.
She had this to say on White women connecting with Olivia:
“One of the most profound things for me about the show is the number of white women of all ages who come up to me and say, ‘I want to be Olivia Pope.’The 36-year old actress featured on the August issue of VF...yay or nay to Scandal leading lady's photo?
It’s especially profound in a place like South Africa. It’s called The Fixer over there, and it just started its second season. The fact that white women can see this woman of color as an aspirational character is revolutionary, I think, in the medium of television.
I don’t think white women would feel that way about Olivia if her identity as a woman, period, wasn’t first in their mind.”
I just love everything Kerry Washington. I mean whats not to love about her. She is talented and scandalous. I love her role as Olivia Pope and the juicy affair with Mr. President. (No crucify me oo) By the way Kerry just got married on 24 June to a Nigerian NFL corner back Nnamdi Asomugha. Congrats to the happy couple.
