If you're meandering all over the place looking for the right "fit", chances are that you're not happy inside. I was fighting an ideology about what an actor was, and it was all born in the depth of white superiority. Viola meets, falls in love with, and eventually marries Julius Tennon, a fellow actor and a castmate of hers from the show City of Angels.These and other challenges, in turn, manifest into everyday struggles which recur habitually in different situations. While it's nice to collaborate with other people sometimes, it's hard to be truly creative when you're always surrounded by other people.

I thought that I loved Viola Davis before reading this book, but my goodness this book was exceptional in every single way and it made me appreciate her even more.
