This is the path I took to finding my purpose but also my voice in a world that didn’t always see me.\nAs 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 and overcoming trauma, 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.\nFinding Me is a deep reflection, a promise, and a love letter of sorts to self. My hope is that my story, a candid Black actress memoir, 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.\nFinding Me is the story of my journey, but it is also an invitation to own your own past with radical honesty: A Raw and Unflinching Memoir: Forget the polished celebrity memoir. This is a story told with the radical honesty of a woman who ran from her past―from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls to the stages of Hollywood. Finding Your Voice: A powerful account of what it takes to be seen and heard in a world that tries to label you, and the courage required to finally stop running and speak your truth. From Trauma to Triumph: Follow the path of a little girl who clawed her way through murky memories of poverty, racism, and abuse to discover her life’s purpose and inspire millions. A Story of Self-Love: For anyone who feels untethered, this is a love letter to self―a reminder that a life worth living is born from the courage to shed facades and finally, fully be you.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 006303736X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.006303736X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Davis, Viola\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in good condition.
