Narrated by Viola Davis
In my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life-changing decision to stop running forever.
This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose but also my voice in a world that didn’t always see me.
As I wrote Finding Me, my eyes were open to the truth of how our stories are often not given close examination. We are forced to reinvent them to fit into a crazy, competitive, judgmental world. So I wrote this for anyone running through life untethered, desperate and clawing their way through murky memories, trying to get to some form of self-love. For anyone who needs reminding that a life worth living can only be born from radical honesty and the courage to shed facades and be . . . you.
Finding Me is a deep reflection, a promise, and a love letter of sorts to self. My hope is that my story will inspire you to light up your own life with creative expression and rediscover who you were before the world put a label on you.

True rags to riches story. It was very humbling to read this book. I wonder if all her life experiences led her to be the wonderful, beautiful actress she is.

Bravo to Viola Davies for writing her story. It’s raw, heart breaking at times and triumphant all on the same page.

Viola Davis: mooie vrouw van binnen en van buiten. Na zoveel meegemaakt te hebben en dan nog zo'n goed hart te hebben... Echt klasse! Dit levensverhaal is een aanrader om naar te luisteren. 🙂

Such a beautiful and amazing actress, but after reading her memoir even more impressed by this wonderful woman, her story, her telling.
