I don’t know why it took me this long to read Finding Me. It was truly amazing!! I purchased the Kindle and Audible version and hearing Viola Davis read her story in her own words just enhanced the story even more. Hearing the rawness, anger, heart break, joy, love, etc. from her…I have no words.
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.
