With a sensibility that recalls her beloved screen characters, including Yvette, Queenie, Shug, and the iconic Cookie from Empire, yet is all Taraji, the screen actress writes of her families - the one she was born into and the one she created. She shares stories of her father, a Vietnam vet who was bowed but never broken by life's challenges, and of her mother, who survived violence both in the home and on DC's volatile streets. Here, too, she opens up about her experiences as a single mother.

Histoire
Twenty thousand years ago, women were making and wearing the first clothing created from spun fibers. In fact, right up to the Industrial Revolution the fiber arts were an enormous economic force, belonging primarily to women. Despite the great toil required in making cloth and clothing, most books on ancient history and economics have no information on them. Much of this gap results from the extreme perishability of what women produced, but it seems clear that until now descriptions of prehistoric and early historic cultures have omitted virtually half the picture.

"My name is 'J' and I'm awkward--and Black. Someone once told me those were the two worst things anyone could be. That someone was right. Where do I start?" Being an introvert in a world that glorifies cool isn't easy. But when Issa Rae, the creator of the Shorty Award-winning hit series The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, is that introvert--whether she's navigating love, work, friendships, or rapping--it sure is entertaining.

Histoire
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Description
“In her long and extraordinary career, Cicely Tyson has not only exceeded as an actor, she has shaped the course of history.” (President Barack Obama, 2016 Presidential Medal of Honor ceremony)
"Just as I Am is my truth. It is me, plain and unvarnished, with the glitter and garland set aside. Here, I am indeed Cicely, the actress who has been blessed to grace the stage and screen for six decades. Yet I am also the church girl who once rarely spoke a word. I am the teenager who sought solace in the verses of the old hymn for which this book is named. I am a daughter and mother, a sister, and a friend. I am an observer of human nature and the dreamer of audacious dreams. I am a woman who has hurt as immeasurably as I have loved, a child of God divinely guided by His hand. And here in my ninth decade, I am a woman who, at long last, has something meaningful to say.” (Cicely Tyson)

Remarkable
The weight of Ms Cicely’s life is somehow penned with such ease and flow in here. A near century of life and experience shared respectfully touching on just about all aspects of her life. The beauty of it really should be taken in, in pieces and reflected on as much as you need. I definitely will be picking up a paper copy from a black owned bookstore as well. Robin Miles did a wonderful job - it truly felt as though I were sat in front of Ms Tyson as she recounted these memories. What a timely release. May she Rest In Peace.

Excellent Memoir
Well written book. I enjoyed listening to Cicely tell her story. What a legend. Many people can learn so much from her experiences. She has shown love, determination, strength, perseverance, faith, forgiveness and hope. Her tips on longevity will certainly be my guide. I am turning 75 and hope to make it to her age with her spirit and zest for life. She has given us so much to work with. Love this book but most of all, love this author. Thank you Cicely. RIP

The best memoir I've ever read/heard. As Ms. Tyson says, as "a child of God," this work offers something for us all. Not just a life, but a century of history, heaven sent. Experience it for yourself, savour and enjoy. Rest in paradise, Ms. Cicely Tyson. You are a treasure for all eternity.
