I have admired Viola Davis since Doubt. I knew she had grown up in poverty but I didn’t know the extent of poverty, abuse, and racism she faced. Readers should check out the content warnings. Some of it was hard to read.
Definitely recommend the audiobook!

Listen to the audiobook! It is outstanding, and hearing the story told in Viola Davis' own, expressive voice adds a lot to the book.

nadia's review against another edition
4.5
I listened to this on audio and having Viola's voice fill my head as she told her story was something else.
I appreciated her sharing all sides of her story, including her difficult upbringing, the challenges that come with being a dark-skinned black woman in Hollywood, let alone choosing acting as a profession, and her journey in finding love, the latter of which got to me and had me sobbing at one point.
If anything, I was hoping for a lil’ more BTS scoops, especially on her work on HTGAWM, and also some more drama/goss, but I suspect that’s not Viola’s style!
Now I gotta go and watch everything Viola Davis has been in!
