Speaking of Black Girl Magic, Washington truly embodies it and in recent years has been very vocal about the community.

In a 2020 interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live, Washington said she wants children of the new generation, along with her children (Isabelle, 7, Caleb, 4, and the stepmom of husband Nnamdi Asomugha’s daughter, 15) to learn Black History differently. “I’ve been thinking a lot about education and a lot about talking about race and introducing ideas of race [to children]. Kids are introduced to race at Black History Month or in the concept of change-makers like Martin Luther King Jr. or Rosa Parks and I think it’s really important that we start to introduce the idea of race with a Black history that begins before teaching kids about what Black people were told they couldn’t do.”
