Kerry and Valerie Washington on Simpson Street in The Bronx, NY | Street You Grew Up On

On this episode of Street You Grew Up On, Kerry Washington goes back to where it all began. Where SHE began. We travel back to Simpson Street in The Bronx, NY with Dr. Valerie Washington. Simpson Street was a melting pot of cultures, a place where immigrant families came to start their life in NYC, as her parents did from Jamaica. Children played together, families looked out for one another, if you did something bad, within 10 minutes your parents would know about it. Although families came from different places, there wasn’t any fighting or animosity between the cultures. We’re so inspired by her story and we’re so grateful for the memories that she shares with us in this incredibly special episode. We hope you enjoy! ❤️
