Finding Me: Oscar, Tony & Emmy Award Winner Viola Davis
From an impoverished childhood where she and her family lived in a one-room shack, Viola Davis went from experiencing frequent trouble during high school and a cafeteria lunch often her only meal — to being awarded a scholarship to Juilliard and becoming the first African American to achieve the “triple crown of acting.” Winning an Oscar for Fences, two Tony Awards, an Emmy for How To Get Away With Murder, and Best Actress Oscar nomination for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, starring alongside the late Chadwick Boseman, Viola Davis is the most-nominated Black woman in the history of the Academy Awards. What lessons can all of us learn from her journey overcoming enormous odds? Find out as she makes a rare 92Y appearance discussing her new memoir Finding Me.
