Listened to the audiobook, extremely compelling and moving. Really made me want to hold my childhood self & tell her it’s ok.
Viola Davis is an exceptional writer. Her memoir is as beautiful as it is painful as it is inspirational. Also it totally got me in the mood to go watch everything she’s in because she’s ALSO an amazing actor.

"The question still echoes, how did I claw my way out? There is no out. Every painful memory, every mentor, every friend and foe served as a chisel, a leap pad that has shaped me. "ME!" The imperfect but blessed sculpture that is Viola is still growing and still being chiseled. My elixir? I'm no longer ashamed of me. I own everything that has ever happened to me. The parts that were a source of shame are actually my warrior fuel." ~ Viola Davis
Y'aaaaall, this woman is such an amazing storyteller! I listened to the audiobook and read along so I could hear her in her story... I'm even more of a fan than I was before. 💪🏽

I don’t often meet a memoir I don’t like but this was top tier. You should probably avoid it if you aren’t in the mood to cry though because I cried practically the entire time; sad tears and happy tears. And as always with memoirs, the audiobook just gives it that extra something.
