Finding Me: A Memoir by Viola Davis

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

3.5

Davis has lived a life full of good and bad times, torture and fame, love and grief. While reading, I consistently found myself wanting more — details, anecdotes, snapshots of the past. What has been written is engaging, entertaining, and at times even inspiring but I still wished for more. Davis’ role as Annalise Keating is one of my absolute favorite television roles and I would read two more books this length about her life, her time on different sets, and the people she’s worked with who she came to love and respect.

What a bad ass 8 year old! This audiobook was as much painful and raw as it was celebratory and proud. Viola is such a powerhouse! It's amazing how resilient we are as humans. Especially unapologetically Black women. I cannot thank Mrs. Davis enough for having the courage and making the headspace to tell us her story. It's eye-opening to some, and validating to thousands!!! We need to hear it all, the sugar and the shit. Thank you!
