This month discussing: Finding Me by Viola Davis
A candid, inspiring memoir from Viola Davis, from her coming of age in Rhode Island to being recognized as one of America's most admired actresses, honored by an Academy Award, a SAG Award, and two Tonys.
Written in her own words, this is no Hollywood tell-all. It's a moving recollection of a Black woman who defied incredible odds to go from a working class childhood to Julliard, then had to fight to make the space for the roles she wanted to play. Raw and honest, filled with previously-untold stories, this is an account of a Black woman pushing back against the odds to hone her craft and express her artistic vision.
Viola Davis is an internationally acclaimed actress and producer. She appeared in 6 seasons of How to Get Away With Murder and the films Fences, The Help and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. In 2017 TIME named her one of their 100 most influential women.
