What I’m Reading These Days…

I devoured the Cicely Tyson autobiography, Just As I Am, the same week it arrived in the mail. What a life! The takeaways were numerous, but what I most appreciated about her story is her integrity. She decided early on in her career not to take on roles that she felt would not represent Black women in all our multifaceted glory. And when you survey the landscape of roles she portrayed, you know that she stayed true to herself.
