MFlan: Full of insight about being Black, being a Black woman, being vulnerable, being determined and just being. From afar, I valued and admired Ms. Tyson. Her memoir proves that she deserves that and more. Thankfully, she placed the credit where it belongs, to God. She was and is a gift. Thank you, Michelle Burford.

Fabian Akaeze: This book helps aspiring actors see that celebrity actors are not as perfect as they look on screens. Cicely Tyson paid a price for a generation of black female actors and I'm glad she received due recognition before passing. May her soul rest in peace.

FIona: I totally enjoyed this memoir from Cicely Tyson. I felt as if she was with me sharing her life journey. The honesty, the trials, the films, her warmth, her resilience and so much more made me wish that I had met her. Especially since we share the same birthday. I will re read this again one day. I am sure of it. Buy it and read it and you too will be touched and uplifted by her truth, her journey, her wisdom and more. Thank you Ms Tyson. Thank you...

Read-A-Lot: What a treasure for us Ms. Cicely Tyson has been. This book, her sharing her stories with the world, is a tremendous gift. This is a wonderful book for its many stories of industry, family and personalities that shaped the thoughts and actions of Cicely Tyson. Once she embraced who she was and the importance of representing to all the power, grace and dignity of her being, she was always intentional from that point on, about the roles she would accept. She was once offered the role of Christie Love, an offer she found insulting, and it was surprising to think that somehow she wouldn’t mind. For those who are old enough to remember, Get Christie Love, we can relate. And one of the great things about the book, is you will feel the same bit of odd confusion, because what had been shared about her life and career up to that point, leads you to ask, huh?

“ABC had adapted the story for the small screen in a series to be called Get Christie Love!, featuring a Black female lead. ABC had me in mind to play Christie, Haber explained. The more I read, the lower my heart sank. He must be crazy if he thinks I’m taking part in this foolishness, I thought. Surely there had to be a...

dramadharma: Cicely Tyson gives us all the rich details of her nearly century long life. A life full of adventure, heartbreak, resilience and triumph. From the moment I started reading it to the very last pages, I was mesmerized and found it hard to put the book down. A real page turner that is all the more special for the fact that it's all true. Thank you Miss Tyson for sharing your world with us.
