I recently finished reading Viola Davis’s autobiography, “Finding Me.” I was deeply moved by her story. Davis is a powerful and inspiring actress who has faced many challenges in her life, but she has never given up on herself. She has always strived to love and accept herself unconditionally. Her story is a reminder that we all have the power to transform our lives through introspection and self-awareness.

In “Finding Me”, Davis writes candidly about her childhood, her struggles with self-esteem, and her journey to success. She shares her experiences with racism, sexism, and abuse, and she writes about how she found the strength to overcome these challenges. Davis’s story is a powerful reminder that we are all capable of great things, no matter what our circumstances.

“I truly believe that the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are. Your ability to adapt to failure, and navigate your way out of it, absolutely 100 percent makes you who you are. There are no prerequisites to worthiness. You’re born worthy, and I think that’s a message a lot of women need to hear.” — Viola Davis
