After taking a mental health break from social media at the beginning of her second pregnancy, Kerry Washington returned to Twitter yesterday and hosted an #AskKerry Twitter party with her fans. During the one hour session from 1-2 pm PT, she responded to various questions about her career, recent projects, her personal life and her feelings about recent events in pop culture and policy.
When asked how she spent her time off, the star whose career took off following the popularity of her hit ABC television network show Scandal, said, “[w]onderful. & productive actually. Spent a lot of time focusing on health, wellness, family, producing & development.”
She doesn’t give too many interviews where she discusses her personal life, so it was great that she let her fans in and shared much of it yesterday. Here are some of the Q&A.
Maybe… Teaching. Elementary school probably. #AskKerry https://t.co/FLoNDyVuDz

We also know from the session that Emmy-nominated actress has been exercising this pregnancy as she tweeted about being on a machine while watching TV recently too during the tweet session.

And this…water aerobics.
I’ve started doing water aerobics and it’s so fun. And kinda retro. I’m obsessed. #AskKerry https://t.co/92loFssBwg

Playing Anita Hill has made me more brave IN GENERAL. But also… more honest. #AskKerry https://t.co/vP21qFanzu — kerry washington (@kerrywashington) July 22, 2016
