Hers is a story of overcoming, a true hero's journey. 520 $a "In my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life changing decision to stop running forever. This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose and my strength, but also to finding my voice in a world that didn't always see me. As I wrote Finding Me, my eyes were open to the truth of how our stories are often not given close examination. They are bogarted, reinvented to fit into a crazy, competitive, judgmental world. So I wrote this for anyone who is searching for a way to understand and overcome a complicated past, let go of shame, and find acceptance. 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. Finding Me is a deep reflection on my past and a promise for my future. My hope is that my story 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"-- $c Front flap. 505 00 $t There she is. $t My world -- $t Central Falls -- $t 128 -- $t Minefield -- $t My calling-- $t The sisterhood -- $t Secret, silent, shame -- $t The muse -- $t The starting block -- $t Being seen -- $t Taking flight -- $t The blooming -- $t Coming into me -- $t The wake-up -- $t Harnessing bliss -- $t There she is. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Davis, Viola, $d 1965- 650 0 $a African American actresses $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American actors $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American women $v Biography. 650 0 $a Actresses $v Biography. 650 0 $a Self-realization in women. 650 6 $a Actrices noires ameÌricaines $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Acteurs noirs ameÌricains $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Noires ameÌricaines $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Actrices $v Biographies. 650 6 $a ReÌalisation de soi chez la femme. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SELF-HELP / Personal Growth / Self-Esteem. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Women. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Davis, Viola, $d 1965- $2 fast 650 7 $a African American women $2 fast 650 7 $a African American actors $2 fast 650 7 $a African American actresses $2 fast 650 7 $a Self-realization in women $2 fast 650 7 $a African American actors $v Biography. $2 sears 655 0 $a Autobiographies. 655 2 $a Autobiography 655 2 $a Biography 655 7 $a autobiographies (literary works) $2 aat 655 7 $a Autobiographies $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Online version: $a Davis, Viola, 1965- $t Finding Me. $d [Place of publication not identified] : HarperOne, 2022 $z 9780063037335 $w (OCoLC)1312756310 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240117081709.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A1B0AEC8B53611EEB9FA144B1F3FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
