Inside the issue Kerry discusses her role in For Colored Girls, being a successful actress, and everything in between.
On her role in For Colored Girls:
“That play is such an important part of the American canon, but also of the canon for women of color. A lot of us have a For Colored Girls poem in our back pocket, the way you’d have a Shakespeare monologue in your back pocket.”
On her Childhood:
“My parents always had PBS on. From a very young age, the subjects at the dining room table were affirmative action, sexuality education, low-income housing, education reform—the pros and the cons, the ideological histories, the sociopolitical contexts.”
On being a successful actress:
"I don’t think of it in terms of being difficult.There are much more difficult jobs than mine, like running the State Department! My job does not compare to Hillary Clinton’s.”
