Viola Davis

Womanhood
You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny.
VIOLA DAVIS

Destiny Dreams Please
In my mind, I see a line. And over that line, I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful, white women with their arms stretched out to me over that line, but I can’t seem to get there now. I can’t seem to get over that line.
