She’s such an inspiration, I love me some Viola Davis. I certainly plan to obtain a copy of her book, her life story is so moving as someone who’s been abandoned, raised in the foster care system ,endured my own journey of trauma, darkness, heavy grief, & losses. Including recently the loss of my beloved adopted mom, 💔 I often feel super loss in this life if not super alone being parentless. 😔😢😔However there are people besides my now late beloved adopted mother such as Ms. Davis who inspire me to somehow keep pushing forward.💜
