Kerry Washington

The thing about being from the Bronx, and I just did a speech about this, a whole entire speech, because I was presenting Jennifer Lopez with an award.

And she and I went to the same Boys and Girls Club in the Bronx.

And I was saying in the speech that...

The Bronx is like the underdog borough.

It's like the forgotten borough.

You know, like Brooklyn had Spike Lee and Queens has all the airports and the cemeteries and like Astoria.

But the Bronx is like the forgotten borough.

And people don't expect much of you when you're from the Bronx.

And so there's like a hustle.

There's a certain kind of hustle and determination to...

Make it if there's something you want to do.

There's a different kind of strength and resilience, I think, from people who are from the Bronx.

Yes, it has an X. It's also the only borough that has a the in front of it.

Yes.

You don't say the Brooklyn.

The Bronx.

The Bronx.

It's like a thing.

There is a... It's like a scrappy, scruffy hustler vibe to it that I'm really proud of.

Super proud.
