I have so much respect for her and her drive. I would love to just sit with her and continue to hear her life’s stories. She deserves all the praise she is getting and I hope she realizes the power she has brought to women (especially black women) by telling her story.

Viola Davis is one of my favorite actresses and she is an amazing role model. We often see celebrities as gorgeous, rich, famous, etc. but we forget that they are human too. To hear and read about her childhood and experiences broke my heart- I even cried in one chapter. To see what she had to go through to get where she is now and what she had to overcome…she is truly a strong and powerful woman and reading her story made me realize why I love her so much.
This was an AMAZING memoir and I’d recommend it to anyone.
