Viola Davis

You can only fight with the tools you have.

Owning your story is the bravest thing you’ll ever do.

Shame feeds on secrecy.

Sometimes survival is a full-time job.

When you truly see yourself, you are free.

Pain is a necessary part of growth.

I learned to dream beyond the limitations around me.

My worth is not defined by anyone’s inability to see it.

You can’t outrun your trauma, but you can heal from it.

Honesty with yourself is the beginning of freedom.

I found my power when I stopped seeking permission.

We all have a story, and every story matters.
