GOSSIP - Una First lady come amica! Sarah Jessica Parker e Kerry Washington si spintonano per essere al fianco di Michelle Obama sulla cover di "Glamour"
Kerry Washington, Sarah Jessica Parker, and the First Lady Michelle Obama share the cover of Glamour magazine’s May 2015 issue, on newsstands April 14.
Here’s what the ladies had to share:
Kerry, on diminishing the stigma of mental health:
“I think it’s really important to take the stigma away from mental
health…. My brain and my heart are really important to me. I don’t know
why I wouldn’t seek help to have those things be as healthy as my teeth.
I go to the dentist. So why wouldn’t I go to a shrink?”
Sarah Jessica, on the issues female veterans face: “I
feel like there’s a laundry list of issues they face…. Being a working
mother, serving, returning from Iraq or Afghanistan—I almost don’t know
where to begin…. And I feel intimidated by their service; I feel ashamed
that I haven’t served. So I almost feel like I’m patronizing by
inquiring how to help. When you see a serviceman or -woman, you always—I
always—say, ‘Thank you for your service.’ But you know that’s not
enough…. What do we do? Every community has a community of veterans.
Where do we begin?”
First Lady Obama, on the importance of asking for help:
“I never try to come close to comparing my life to these women’s lives.
But, if you think about it, when you [have] a spouse who travels or is
away a lot, women do adapt…. The challenge is when the missing spouse
comes back and they’re trying to reintegrate into a well-oiled machine….
How do you let yourself become vulnerable when you don’t know when that
call will come, and they’ve got to [go away again]?… And many of these
women are young. When I was going through this [when President Obama got
into politics], I was in my thirties, I had my career, and I had family
with me. I [try to] put myself in the place of some of these young
women—maybe they’re in their twenties, they have their third kid,
they’re not established in their careers, they’re miles away from their
family—and imagine the stresses. So my advice is, ask for help. Keep
asking. Because that’s the only way I survived. My women friends—how we
get through is we reach out.”
