JUST AS I AM by Cicely Tyson

“In her long and extraordinary career, Cicely Tyson has not only succeeded as an actor, she has shaped the course of history.” -President Barack Obama, 2016 Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony
"Just As I Am is my truth. It is me, plain and unvarnished, with the glitter and garland set aside. In these pages, 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

RIP Queen -Blessed Assurance. I remember vividly my 1st image of you on screen. It was life changing for me. Rich dark chocolate, cropped afro, poised, regal, strong, beautiful. Imprinted. Representation matters.
Thank you Ms Cicely Tyson, icon for representing my truth.

J'adore cette actrice si vraie dans ses rôles. Je viens de découvrir sa disparition, je n'avais pas eu l'info, alors que je faisais des recherches sur wikipedia .
Ce genre d'actrices manque et au cinéma et sur petit écran 😢
