Kerry Washington was a busy and stylish gladiator in New York City yesterday. The  36-year old actress showed off three unique looks as she hit the streets ahead of the season 3 premiere of her hit show, Scandal.

Washington began her day in a white asymmetrical J. Mendel dress on her way to the Paley Center for Media where an event, “She’s Making Media: Kerry Washington” was held in her honor.

According to theybf.com:

“The audience included the likes of BET CEO Deborah Lee, Susan Fales Hill, Pat Mitchell, the current president and chief executive officer of the Paley Center and the former president and CEO of  the Public Broadcasting Service.

During her chat, Kerry discussed at length the contributions of black actresses to the arts and also commented on her own political activism with the John Kerry and President Obama campaigns.”

Next up, Washington, styled in a print Prabal Gurung dress and belt, bounced over to a taping of the  “Late Show With David Letterman.”

The Emmy-nominated actress saved her boldest look for last, in a blue and white gingham Prada dress and white Stella McCartney belt. Washington was joined by her co-star Scott Foley and the series creator Shonda Rhimes.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
