emotional reflective medium-paced

4.0

Viola’s story is incredible, and her memoir is beautifully written and painfully raw. I felt like I could feel her hurt. Her narration in the audiobook is fantastic- it made all the important people in her life absolutely come to life. **Please pay attention to the content warnings, as some she discusses in detail and are quite hard to hear about, even if they are not a trigger!**

The audiobook is narrated by Viola Davis herself. I love her acting and this emphasizes how powerful her voice is. I love her insights on her difficult life and career. A raw and honest read.

Viola Davis goes deep into her childhood experiences, her rise to stardom, her experience with how dark skinned black women are treated and casted in the film industry, relationships, friendships, faith and how all of that shaped her as a person and how she reconciles her perception of herself and how it’s changed over the years. Wonderfully done and she did an amazing job performing the audio.
