Just as I Am by Cicely Tyson

emotional inspiring medium-paced

5.0

“Turning a blind eye to our history has not saved us from its consequences.” I personally am only familiar with Ms. Tyson thanks to How to Get Away With Murder since she portrayed Annalise Keating’s mother aka sharing the small screen with Viola Davis. Regardless, I was aware that her death had occurred late January of this year. I wanted to know more about this actress and I’m glad I did. Beautifully raw, vulnerable, honest and genuine. As painful as some of her early childhood might have been as well as reliving a lot of the pain she went through must have not been an easy task for her to compile. I do appreciate that she did respect her family’s privacy and altered some of the names. Her late start in the Hollywood world of acting didn’t stop her from shining all the way through.
