That if I somehow explored it, went down sort of that path, and somehow I could find my peace,&#8221; she told People in 2022. Despite going through some difficult times in her life, such as poverty and violence, Davis has learned to embrace that part of her. &#8220;I celebrate all of it because what I realize is everything that I&#8217;ve experienced is what connects me to the world. It&#8217;s given me an extraordinary sense of compassion, and it&#8217;s a huge foundation for my work,&#8221; the &#8220;How to Get Away with Murder&#8221; actor shared.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Davis had to re-live all her memories when she recorded the audiobook version of &#8220;Finding Me,&#8221; which she admitted was a bit daunting. &#8220;I felt I was living through those moments with every word I spoke. It made me question how I remember things,&#8221; she said in an interview with The New York Times. However, Davis added, &#8220;It also made me celebrate what I did remember and what I was able to express. More [importantly], it brought me to a very powerful realization. And that is that the past no longer exists. It has no power to hurt me anymore.&#8221; So, if you&#8217;re looking for a celebrity book club pick to add to your reading list, Davis&#8217; story will be sure to inspire you, whether you read it the old-fashioned way or listen to the full memoir on audiobook.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writing Finding Me was cathartic for Viola Davis Viola Davis opened up about just how important it was to share her story with the world. &#8220;I&#8217;m trying to get back to me, and I think that&#8217;s why I wrote the book.
