Finding Me: The Grammy-winning memoir

Product Information

I’m not one to enjoy love stories but this was a stand out part of the book that really impacted me.

Annalise Keating released in me the obstacles blocking me from realizing my worth and power as a woman. Viola Davis, Inside Out: How she drew on a life of private hardship to become one of the greatest actors of her generation. Her childhood was riddled with trauma: she shares devastating stories of enduring racism, constant hunger, rampant sexual assault by neighborhood men, and constantly reeking because her family couldn’t afford to do laundry. Instead she simply tells the facts - the truth - the ugly stories — unapologetic stories from early childhood to present day. To the lioness hard working kick ass, talented, determined, authentic powerhouse inspiring human being….The author is discussing the pain that she had to suffer due to the mindset of people due to the influence of the Jim Crow laws. But when she saw Cecily Tyson on TV, she was inspired to take up acting, first succeeding in small sketches at school and later earning a college scholarship. I’m an artist because there’s no separation from me and every human being that has passed through the world including my mom.

I have loved this actress for a long time based solely on her skills as an actress, but now I am doubly impressed.

The term Jim Crow originated from a minstrel show in 1828 which was projecting African Americans negatively. Deeply personal, brutally honest, and riveting, Finding Me is a timeless and spellbinding memoir that will capture hearts and minds around the globe. As a girlie with only brothers, I quite enjoy seeing, hearing and knowing women with sisters because that dynamic to me is soooo precious.
