Thicker than Water: A Memoir | Kerry Washington
11 posts | 11 read | 3 to read
Award-winning actor, director, producer, and activist Kerry Washington shares the "exquisitely moving journey of her life so far (Isabel Wilkerson), and the bravely intimate story of discovering her truth. While on a drive in Los Angeles, on a seemingly average afternoon, Kerry Washington received a text message that would send her on a life-changing journey of self-discovery. In an instant, her very identity was torn apart, with everything she thought she knew about herself thrown into question. In Thicker than Water, Washington gives readers an intimate view into both her public and private worldsas a mother, daughter, wife, artist, advocate, and trailblazer. Chronicling her upbringing and lifes journey thus far, she reveals how she faced a series of challenges and setbacks, effectively hid childhood traumas, met extraordinary mentors, managed to grow her career, and crossed the threshold into stardom and political advocacy, ultimately discovering her truest self and, with it, a deeper sense of belonging. Throughout this profoundly moving and beautifully written memoir, Washington attempts to answer the questions so many have struggled with: Who am I? What is my truest and most authentic self? How do I find a deeper sense of connection and belonging? With grace and honesty, she inspires readers to search forand findthemselves.

February 27, 2024 The quote that sums up the memoir: "... It seemed that all of life was swimming in that single eye. I watched her watching me...There I was, surrounded by three blue whales --- a male, a female, and a child... It's not the father... He my not have been the biological father, but in their journey together, he was the dad" (page 304-305)

February 24, 2024 Very close to the end. The paragraph that starts with, "These characters, these projects...." is probably the essence of the book and how Kerry Washington was able to share her personal story. There were signals that alerted her that she was meant to play thr characters she did and therefore meant to be on this Earth. She had a purpose!

February 19, 2024 Happy President's Day! I have the day off like many ppl so I was like WHY NOT do a post about this book? Short and sweet???! If you like to read memoirs about celebrities, such as Kerry Washington, you'll want to read it. I have had no regrets in picking it up as it is from her perspective on how she views life, the obstacles that she faced with her food, exercising, and body, and how she started to not care what others thought

Meh. She wasn‘t that transparent. I get that you pick and choose what you want to share. This one was mediocre to me. I enjoy her as an actress.

February 14, 2024 Happy Valentine's Day! I am on page 104 out of 305 and I am feeling the emotions that Kerry Washington is going through. Her emotions jump out at me as I am reading them. For example, "What am I doing wrong?" Why haven't I booked any acting jobs? ... So why hadn't I been able to be more perfect? Why didn't people want me in their projects and on their screen? Was I not pretty enough, sexy enough, thin enough?

Scandal is one of my favorite shows so gave this a listen. I enjoyed it, but she jumped all over the place so that was a bit annoying. #wintergames #teamwreathitandweep @StayCurious

I recently listened to a podcast interviewing Kerry about her book, and couldn‘t wait to read it.
The interview was so interesting and touched on themes that I would love to know more about, such as belonging and discovery of self. But there was something about the book that I didn‘t quite connect with, I‘m not sure why.
