WOW Viola Davis, I know I've seen her in some movies, but not only is she a great actress but an amazing story teller. I enjoyed the audiobook so much because I felt it so real in my ears, with her voice, her intonation, her passion, I felt like crying, I got watery eyes, it was all a rollercoaster of emotions. While listening to the audiobook, I understood how important it is to find one's self, I did, and to welcome new findings while letting the past go sounded tough yet Viola showed how resilient she was and the way she endured everything throughout her life.
I wasn't expecting this book to have such an impact on my view in life, I felt like this was a push to never give up a dream, and pursue it no matter the obstacles. I have sooo much respect for Viola Davis. She continues to use her platform and power to help other black women in the industry that may find themselves in the same loop of microaggression and unfairness.
There a lot of moments where I wish I had a pen in hand to write them down but far too many left me open-mouthed, the rats, the poverty, the grieving, the insecurities, all of them left my heart in pieces.
