*Kerry Washington graces the cover of Ebony‘s March/April double issue. And inside, she shares her thoughts on #BlackLivesMatter and being an activist even when it’s “inappropriate.”
Washington told Ebony why she won’t ignore racial issues and will speak up about it. Just like how she did at the Emmys.
There she opened up about her thoughts on Ferguson and the #BlackLivesMatter Movement on the red carpet of the Emmys.
“I was really broken that morning (thinking about the difficulty of being Black in America),” she said. “Watching that funeral, I was just broken. And I take all of who I am into a room.”
“That’s where my mind was that day,” she added. “I’m not going to let anyone segment me or make me exclude parts of who I am because they may be threatening.”
