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.

Viola er en af vores tids dygtigste skuespiller og jeg har altid haft dyb respekt for hende. Jeg har endnu mere respekt for hendes talent som skuespiller og hendes styrke og mod som en sorte kvinde i USA. Hendes biografi er ærlig og rå og et abselut must-read

Such an incredible interesting and riveting story about overcoming extreme hardships and making it with talent, grit, hard work and divine intervention not to forget the beautiful inner work she has done, especially with healing her inner child.
