@lb1798 8 ай бұрын

@@MICLUBBY Me too. There's something amazing about making a vulnerable man feel secure in our love and presence. I was able to see it with my father. When his oldest brother died...my Mom was sick and couldn't go to the funeral. She said "go ..hold your Dad's hand..he's going to act like he doesn't like it...but he'll need you." I did...and as he gently cried he held my hand so tight...I felt so happy to be there for him.

One of the best thing about this interview is how Kerry answered every question Oprah asked with simplicity while still telling aa story[sharing her vulnerability] and passing a message/spreading knowledge across at the same time... This interview was 41mins long and it doesn't feel long enough. I could listen to this Two Beautiful smart women talk all day long and still be inspired and not bored.

Every time I see her, she makes me want to rewatch Scandal for the millionth time, understanding that what she has to offer us is so much more! This book, her vulnerability, her keeping it 💯 is so real and appreciated. I am reading her book now and love it. If you haven't purchased it, you are missing out! This was a phenomenal interview. ❤ It deserved to be said twice! 😂

I’ve always really respected this young woman. I’m a Gladiator! I’ve always loved Shonda for creating the incredibly strong, fierce vulnerable character of Olivia Pope and I felt Kerry was made for the role. As for the woman, I sensed a shield around her personal energy. Perfect, tight, friendly but distant. I thought it was simply her prioritizing her privacy which I can relate to. The book is revealing and the bud, in the glow of a morning sunrise is beginning to open. Keep exploring, keep opening. Thanks for sharing you. The real you. ✨

Her personal insight of herself, that gut feeling since childhood that something was off, then the truth finally being revealed is so empowering & definitely validation to feel safe in trusting oneself. I consider it for myself as a well deserved gift💝
