This was one of the most difficult, emotional yet inspiring, motivational audios I have ever had to endure.
While battling depression, I had to take my time, even though I wanted to listen on. The hardships, abuse of every kind and heartache that Viola endured in her chilhood alone was appalling.
Just to know that as a light-skinned Black woman, I have not dealt with an ounce of racism, constantly being reminded that I'm "unattractive" and feeling unprotected to the degree darker-skinned Black people do just shakes me to my core.
I loved seeing her progress of being accepted at Julliard to Viola building her portfolio as an actress.
Then meeting her Julius and seeing their relationship blossom was so heartwarming🥰. Having a family of their own was a way for Viola to heal from her own childhood.
I truly loved this memoir, this may be my first one, and I was super excited Viola read for the audio herself🥰.
Just to know this background story off what shaped Viola Davis into the person we see today is truly astounding. Viola's memoir is so passionate, inspiring and a journey of finding the strength to revisit dark memories. Healing your younger self, never giving up hope, love and enjoying life to the fullest.
