I listened to this while walking and shed tears all over my neighbourhood. Viola’s memoir is incredibly moving, thought provoking and incredibly well told. Thank you so much Viola for sharing your story and wisdom.

Brutally honest reflection on what it is to grow up at poor dark skinned black woman in the US.  This was so very good.  Thank you Ms. Davis for sharing your story.

An incredible, heart wrenching story. Viola Davis is one hell of a woman. As hard as it was to listen to at times, she deserves to be heard. It’s beautifully written and read.
