God bless you Viola, the sexualization, marginalization and expendability that society create around little black girls has to be addressed. We applaud you for your courage and selflessness in sharing.

Not society at large.... I live right over stateline in Mssissippi bordering Memphis coming from Los Angeles. I never hear my white friends talking about sexualizing black girls/women. It's the Hop Hop/Rap culture of both male and females. Look what haooened when black female artists finally starting to emerge. You don't get Billy Eilishes or Mariah Careys, you get Nicki Minaj* the name says enough. Megan the Stallion* another name and City Girls, Doja Cat list goes on.

She is one of the most talented and beautiful actors in the world. Her performances are absolutely stunning. I can’t believe anybody said she was ugly. Prejudices blind people without boundaries. Pure evil and envy…period. Her complexion is stunning in any beauty standards. Her persona demands attention and it was too much for people to handle. It is sickening that people can be that evil with an innocent child. I glad she raise above all of them,

WRONG. PURE EVIL IS OPRAH SAYING WE ARE ALL GODS I HEARD HER SAY THAT TRYING TO TAKE THE GLORY OFF OF JESUS. regardless of what she may say now, I have no idea. She tried to drag Queen Elizabeth trough the mud and the white Royal family because they are white, like she tried to drag the white Kennedy family [not saying you have to love them] but SHE set up the prince Harry interview and being who he is with his protected background; he never saw it coming. SHE IS A SNAKE.

isn't just what you do but what you don't do. Not just what you did but how you did it. Not just what you said but how you said it. Love is so simple yet the simple make it so hard. Love Is full of knowledge yet even the smart don't get it. Love doesn't cost a fortune yet fortunes are spent trying to gain it. Love does demand of you yet you are not willing to sacrifice for it. Those who only seek what love can give and do for them, do nothing for love and others and in such selfish pursuit, in turn rob themselves of love's best gift. Make this year the year you seek to sow love and not just reap it. Be love and not just think it. Do love and not just say it. Talk love and just don't fake it. Seek love and just don't chase it. Embrace it but don't enslave it, share it but don't dare boast in it. Enjoy it but don't abuse it. Free it and watch it come back. Invest in it and watch it pay back. Wash your life in it, light your darkness with it, eat your food with it conduct your business with it and above all else Serve God in it. For whatever love is and is not, it's all of, for and From Him. He is LOVE! " By Steven Gooden

We're never as strong, as we are until we have to be. Never Do as much, unless the need we see. Only give our best, when we fail at mediocrity. We Love rather than hate when we admit we're one humanity. We always give more, when compassion moves our heart with unbridled generosity. We Become more of our potential when we are made to see, that clearly our minds can believe in unfathomable possibilities, while seizing every opportunity, here in lies one's destiny. More than our scars, higher than our stars, for in our flaws are what defines our features, they're uniquely ours, as human creatures. We can run faster than on our slowest day. Reason better, and thinking it through all the way, regardless which direction our emotions may sway. We can find our voice when speechless, our strong words with meekness and our Courage in weakness. Always patience not quickness. Silence for peace than loudness, quietness of fear, not hopeless, for time and effort are equally unbiased. We are more than the stories we're told, we're the one's we write, each page unfold. We are the sum of our Lies and truth, fantasy, fiction, faith, and myths, no matter how uncouth. These are what shape us, our lives lived is the proof. We can be more right than wrong. More just than judge. More godlike than unlike. Reflecting Sunlight in our darkest night. Providing refuge. Never more alive until we die within and begin again. A Human Ark Divine in our human spark. by Steven Gooden

Hi everyone, I don't know what happen to me. After I watched this interview and the Viola and Oprah Netflix episode, something happened within me that I can't explained. My soul opened up someway, somehow. I asked my dearly departed son Josh to help me grieve his passing gracefully, 2 days ago. I cried the ugly cry after hearing several passages of this book because I realized I wasn't the only one who've experience the abuse, bullyism, the pain. I preorder this book today and I will take my time reading when i am ready because i am in an very emotional state. Thank you my Josh.

@Ur Achalupa I’m so confused by your Statement, because when White Americans favors their Favorite White Americans actors and actresses that is not a problem, but for me to give praise to my favorite Black American actresses and and actors, and My favorite Black American 🇺🇸 actors are Sydney Poitey,Denzel Washington, and Chadwick Bossmen.May Chadwick Rest In Peace.My favorite White American actress are Julie Roberts Marrel Streat,Farrah Fawsett.May Farrah Rest In Peace.these people are excellent entertainers, but in this case they are known as Black Americans actors and actresses and White Americans actors and actresses, but I get what you are saying at the end of the day they are just HUMAN BEINGS, and if you want me to judge them like that then Cysley Tyson and Sydney poitey is the best actor and actress of all time to me,but I am sure you have your own opinion on who you think is the best actor and actress of all time.

I absolutely love VIola's new book, "FInding Me", which I'm currently reading. It is a powerful story of sisterhood, of courage, and tenacity. She has opened my eyes to what it is like to be black, poor, and traumatized on a DAILY basis. She was a pretty child and grew into a beautiful woman. As difficult as her early beginnings were, she has self-actualized into a wise woman and role model for other young girls to look up to. Thank you Viola Davis for sharing your story! Jenny

I mean, wow, wow, wow, "FINDING ME" is just "shockingly" mesmerising. This book is gold, and it takes us on a journey that we all can relate to to some degree, with every turn of each page involving us with an "appalling" truth being served to a courageous, creative and beautiful woman and her family. Viola Davis is an extraordinary spirit and human, so intense with her strong voice that one has to stop and listen. Between many tears cascading down my face and a sense of relief that she's ok now and that she found triumph, I just wanted to hug her and say, I am so sorry you had to endure all that. I can relate to some of your stories because I grew up in poverty too, but not to the extent you had to go through. And I've learned that failure has been my great success because I kept getting up and going. So thank you 🙏 For sharing your story.

I find Viola strikingly beautiful. It is sad to hear that she had been bullied most of her life to think otherwise.

We carry that the rest of our lives and it takes so much to spit it out of our system.

isn't just what you do but what you don't do. Not just what you did but how you did it. Not just what you said but how you said it. Love is so simple yet the simple make it so hard. Love Is full of knowledge yet even the smart don't get it. Love doesn't cost a fortune yet fortunes are spent trying to gain it. Love does demand of you yet you are not willing to sacrifice for it. Those who only seek what love can give and do for them, do nothing for love and others and in such selfish pursuit, in turn rob themselves of love's best gift. Make this year the year you seek to sow love and not just reap it. Be love and not just think it. Do love and not just say it. Talk love and just don't fake it. Seek love and just don't chase it. Embrace it but don't enslave it, share it but don't dare boast in it. Enjoy it but don't abuse it. Free it and watch it come back. Invest in it and watch it pay back. Wash your life in it, light your darkness with it, eat your food with it conduct your business with it and above all else Serve God in it. For whatever love is and is not, it's all of, for and From Him. He is LOVE! " By Steven Gooden

To be told as a little girl that you are ugly and all those derogatory words, can be very damaging for a little girl. Sorry Viola, that that happened to you. Forgive them for they know not what they were doing. Release them... You are a phenomenal woman!

First Viola starts off talking about colorism then she switches to beauty and attractiveness. I'm a little older than she is and let's face it, attractiveness AND unattractiveness comes in all shades. Everyone is not born 'pretty' so can we stop attributing it to skintone. Being poor can also factor into it. She talks about internalizing what those boys told her but what did her parents tell her other than to beat those boys up. Did THEY teach her about the richness and beauty of her complexion. THAT would have made a huge difference.

If my neighbor was Oprah she would want me to read "The Kid Gallagher Story ". This is not your typical read. Need a book to read on your next flight to Santa Barbara, this is it!

Man, Oprah living that soft life in her Hawaii estate is wonderful to see. She like so many accomplished Black woman, regardless of wealth or fame status, she is her ancestors' wildest dream.

Amazing! But it will not work for 98% of the audience but you yourself know that. The fact is that Tolle's "Pain Body" turns out to have a physical body too, which works reflexively, automatically and constantly! You must discover it in yourself first!>
