I love Kerry. She’s one of those rare gems that you can actually feel how special she is without knowing her. Her laugh is soul soothing. There is something completely angelic about her energy.

Kerry's way of expressing her emotions and experiences are so palpable, so relatable and so thought provoking! Her expressions gave me the language to express myself better. She represents humanity well. Her vocal artistry transcends race and gender! I was moved, truly!

I think the shot with both of you at the end, sitting comfortably, shoes on the floor between each other, is a beautiful representation of this entire conversation. ✨

Her revealing this on her own time is so beautiful. A lot of what she speaks about her learning about her biological father reminds me of her role in Little Fires Everwhere and how well she played it.

The story of how she came to exist and how her parents did not want to tell her.... reminds me of my mother and how she was diagnosed with a terminal illness when I was in college and she didn't tell me. She didn't tell me until after I graduated. At first, I was furious. I felt robbed in a way... but then, when she passed away.... and even right before that... I understood. I understood that she saw me and all the work I had put into my scholarship and my dreams and she wanted me to succeed. I understood that she wanted me to stay strong and not fall apart in the midst of so much pain and uncertainty. I understood that she made the best choice she could as a mother. I understand why Kerry's parents did what they did... they saw their child and wanted what was best for them and what they understood at that point in time. We are all this way.... I believe we do what we can with what we know and have at the time. Sometimes those choices are not the best, but we made them. And that's part of our life story. We get to decide how we react to things. We get to live what is true for us. We have the capacity to heal. And this is what makes life so terrifyingly beautiful.

The ways she express herself, her emotions are so special. The right words, gestures, emotions and passion that easily drive home the point to anyone listening. Goodluck and God’s blessings to you and your family 💛

Kerry had 5 yrs of healing and therapy before sharing with the public which is very wise because she has done the work shes able to share in a way that also is healing and helpful to us. Bravo 👏🏾 to her and I hope she finds what she’s looking for. I hope there’s a village waiting for her on the other side of this revelation 🙏🏾

This was great thank you, Carrie, Washington, one of the moments in my life that defined me as when I marched when Martin Luther King Junior got shot, and my father was working along the way that this riot was going to Massachusetts. I was in the riot. He spotted me grab me and grab me out of the crowd before the state troopers were gonna put the water hose on everybody, I must’ve been 13 and he worked in a bar brought me inside and told everybody what I was doing was saying wow that’s cool and all I felt was love and support today I am a organizer in Massachusetts working to abolish solitary confinement ❤ MASC is the name of our coalition.

Louise Hay which Kerry and Jay discuss, speaks about the spiritual meaning of cancer as un-forgiveness within a body. I think Kerry has taken the time to understand her Mother’s journey to bring her into this world was a duality / double edged sword, which has over the decades manifested within her Mother as cancer. Let us pray that their love for each other and their healing through therapy will bring about physical healing for her mother. Love to you all!!!❤
