Kerry Washington covers Marie Claire’s Identity Issue

Marie Claire’s special print issue, the Identity Issue, is here—with a suitably special cover star to match. Kerry Washington graces the mag in a stunning editorial feature and engaging interview, delving into topics like parenting, on-representation, embracing her 40s, and her new Hulu dramedy UnPrisoned. On the subject of navigating balance and dealing with any negativity that comes her way, she says things like “prayer, meditation, therapy, and journaling” are key. “I have to be doing that work,” she says. “As an executive, entrepreneur, parent, wife, for me to show up in those places requires that I’m willing to constantly be doing self-inventory and face my stuff. If I’m in a place of faith, self-love, and radical acceptance, shit doesn’t bother me. I can take a risk, and whether it goes well or doesn’t, I’m good. It’s about the journey, letting go of the result, and trusting your lane is yours. But if I’m not doing the work to be in a faithful place, then it’s much harder.” She adds how important it is for her to chose projects that impact and shift culture—like her lead role on Scandal, which made her the first Black woman to play a main character in a network drama since the ’70s. “Even in the beginning of my career, I would say I’d rather work another shift at the restaurant than do a movie that is going to be bad for women or Black people,” she recalls.

Camila Morrone talks career moves, growing up in the spotlight, and more with The Cut 

Camila ‘Cami’ Morrone is ready for her close up. Days out from the premier of her upcoming star-studded Amazon show, Daisy Jones & The Six, the model/actress spoke to The Cut about this next act. “I’ve never learned so much as being 25 years old,” she says of the dizzying opportunities coming her way right now, not to mention a global press tour with castmates including Suki Waterhouse, Riley Keough, and Sam Claflin. “I am just starting to feel like a woman. But I also feel little in a lot of senses.” Having been working since her teens, Morrone has an independence that belies her years. “Believing in myself gives me that feeling of, ‘Wow, maybe I can achieve the things that I want to achieve,’” she says of her drive and work ethic. When pressed by The Cut about whether there are similarities between her role as Camila in the show—wife to frontman Billy, played by Claflin—and her highly-publicized former relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio, she gracefully answers: “With any character that I play, I try to bring what I know from my real life…That’s the main thing that I learned in acting class, how to tap into moments in your life that were impactful. So I don’t think it’s any different for Camilla, I just tapped into what I knew. I do see her as incredibly independent, despite Billy being a rock star.” Read the full feature here.
