On this episode of Street You Grew Up On, Kerry is joined by Emmy-nominated actress Dominique Fishback. Hailing from New York City, Brooklyn to be exact, the two visit Dominique’s beloved street of Montauk Avenue.

  • I'm calling it. This is gonna be the best conversation of the season. There is something uplifting about her story. How her success isn't a "despite my upbringing" kind of thing, so much as a "because of".

I love Kerry's posture to being present during the interview. Such a calming presence. Thank you both, for bringing light.❤
