“I THINK EVERYBODY MOVES THROUGH LIFE FIGHTING TO BE SEEN,” DAVIS SAID. “SOMETIMES EVEN BY THEMSELVES, TO THEMSELVES.”

Oprah Winfrey and Academy Award-winning actress Viola Davis discussed her new memoir, Finding Me in a Netflix special airing on April 22.

During the candid interview, Davis shares some of her childhood experiences with unimaginable poverty, disturbing abuse and “all the things that cause you pain.”

She also said that “giving up hope that the past could be different” has brought her peace, forgiveness, and a sense of self.

The actress further explains how she manifested the love in her life and what it took to become one of the most celebrated and talented entertainers of this generation.

In this exclusive clip, Davis talks about her process when executing a role, and how important self-perception is, along with how other people see us.

“I think everybody moves through life fighting to be seen,” the Juilliard graduate stated. “Sometimes even by themselves, to themselves.”
