Reviews
This book is Ms. Tyson's abundant treasure to each of us: her life, in her words, just as she is. She shares truths usually whispered between close friends in the dim light of a back bedroom, those candid declarations not often spoken aloud. And she tells her story the way only a black woman can: in all of its dazzling authenticity, heels off and voice undulating, shifting between anguish and exuberance. The art of acting is the art of exposing, an emotional unveiling before others. Ms. Tyson is as revelatory on these pages as she has been on the stage.

Synopsis
"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 a 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, "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. In these pages, I am indeed Cicely, the actress who has been blessed to grace the stage and screen for six decades.

    Awesome book

    I read this book in 2 days. It is wonderful, interesting and very informative. It has a lot of history and encouragement for anyone who will receive it. Cicely Tyson did an awesome job. I'm sad she didn't live to see what a beautiful job she did. Her daughter and family should be so very proud.

  • She is a great inspiration to us all!

    I always admired this woman - I didn't realize she was such an advocate for black women - not being black I have read many things about how they have been discriminated against but I now understand her views on her declining stereo-typing and demeaning acting roles. Racism is the worst! I have total admiration for her, her determination and her battle to represent the wonderful image of the possibilities one can do with their life - for a woman and a Black.
