Finding Me: An Oprah's Book Club Pick

Product Information

She provides the bleak statistics surrounding the film industry and how few actors and actresses are actually able to make it in this space.

Every painful memory, every mentor, every friend and foe serves as a chisel, a leap pad that has shaped “ME! Annalise was described as a sexual, smart, vulnerable, possibly sociopathic, highly astute, criminal defense attorney. i am (even more so now) in awe of viola davis’ strength, resilience, talent, determination, and candour. 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.

Most of the people in Central Falls were white, and Viola was the butt of vicious racist slurs since she was a child.

I love how she explained what Shonda Rhimes did for her in creating HTGAWM role for her and the healing that came from that. My heart broke listening to the stories Viola shared, including befriending kids who she knew would invite her over after school so that she would be fed at their houses.I see people-the way they walk, talk, laugh, and grieve, and their silence-in a way that is hyperfocused because of my past. I’m honored to learn more about one of my heroes and am utterly in awe of her journey that was gorgeously written, honest, and unforgettable. I cried reading about Viola's childhood and the way her trauma shaped her into the woman she is today. Vee, what a beautiful story, I’m now headed to Malik’s Books for the hardcopy cause my shelf NEEDS this beautiful book!
