A self-declared activist, Bronx born actress Kerry Washington has an astounding 2 million followers on Twitter. As Olivia Pope in ABC’s hit drama Scandal, Kerry Washington brought in “a new era of post-racial television, in which cast members are ethnically diverse but are not defined by their race or ethnicity” according to Tanzina Vega of The New York Times and equally won countless plaudits for her character’s dress sense. A graduate of George Washington University and married to the American football cornerback and actor Nnamdi Asomugha since 2013, Washington prepared for her role in the 2001 movie Lift by stealing an apple from a New York deli. She subsequently returned and paid for it.
