introspection and profound reflection
0:42
while Viola Davis wrote it her eyes were
0:44
observant of the raw and authentic
0:45
stories of Our Lives that barely get
0:47
examined we are in a way compelled to
0:49
give a new shape a new form to our true
0:52
stories to make them suitable for this
0:53
crazy competitive and judgmental world
0:57
this is a memoir of a girl who came from
0:59
abs absolutely nothing pissed soaked and
1:02
rat infested beds physical emotional and
1:05
sexual abuse and a black girl growing up
1:08
in a predominantly white locality the
1:10
names from school the getting chased to
1:12
beat up and the constant shame and
1:14
humility that she felt in this world are
1:16
only imaginable because it is written

1:20
several relationships have altered and
1:22
developed over the years Viola Davis
1:25
suffered for being who she is and it is
1:27
quite common for women of color colorism
1:30
is something so ordinary these days that
1:32
we tend to ignore it unless someone

experienced colorism in the world of

camera and the literary world as well
1:41
people tried to give her the shape of a
1:42
perfect white writer bis elucidates

people's notion of black women and how
1:47
they are hard to understand feminine
1:50
beautiful sexual pretty deserving and
1:53
desirable she says she needs to remain
1:56
emotionally healthy because when it

about a 400y old narrative she talks
2:04
about her rise in society and people's
2:06
eyes it was equally upsetting as her
2:08
childhood but simultaneously some
2:10
experiences inspired her to grow the way
2:13
she jotted down her process of healing
2:15
from her childhood trauma and on the
2:16
other hand being a receiver of several
2:18
Awards is praiseworthy her grip on Words
2:21
proves that this Memoir is not just to
2:23
show the unknown things about her but to
2:26
show the world what women go through
2:29
what black people have to suffer what
2:30
poverty feels like and for readers who
2:32

on the verge of giving up the level of
2:36
Courage she had to overcome these
