A girl is born at a farm in South Carolina.
She will grow up to be regarded as one of the greatest and most influential actresses in her generation. But currently, she is the youngest of five children, and the farm is a former slave plantation with no running water or toilet.
Soon, the family moves to Central Falls, Rhode Island.
Her childhood is filled with many happy moments. But she is also growing up in immense shame. The girl sacrifices her childhood for food. She steals, crawls in maggot-infested garbage bins. When her family’s welfare check comes, the food is gone after two weeks.
They are the only black family in town. The girl’s strongest memories up until 4th grade are those of her classmates yelling racist taunts at her and throwing sticks and bricks at her.
The girl will be a bedwetter until the age of 14. Often, the family won’t have the money for laundry.
But the girl wants a life bigger than that, from food in the refrigerator to exciting adventures.
She decides to pursue acting, something that she is very good at. She starts her professional career with minor theater and film roles.
Today, Viola Davis is the only black person to have achieved the Triple Crown of Acting (an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Tony). She is widely known for her roles in movies like The Help, Suicide Squad, and Fences. Of course, she is also everyone’sр favorite lawyer Annalise Keating in the ABC television drama How to Get Away with Murder.
Viola Davis is happy to prove that things do get better if you choose to march on through. And there is no shame in following your own destined path, even if in the beginning, it’s riddled by storms and thorns.
