Just as I Am by Cicely Tyson Book Summary

“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

Our Queen. What an amazing and interesting life!! She definitely lived!! I truly enjoyed this and loved getting to know more about Ms. Tyson!!

Iconic. Matter of fact, thought provoking, great read

Wonderfully written. Written with grace and grit. A great chronicle of Ms. Tyson’s life infused with emotion without being maudlin. A bit repetitive at times, but moves along nicely. Beautiful metaphors. The last four pages, the conclusion, is absolutely poignant and stirring.

Loved it. Simply Amazing!!!!!!! Well done!

Only in a lifetime! 8-). Outstanding person, Soror, actress, costume designer, herbalist, hair culture trendsetter, fashionista, historian, model, civil rights activist in her own right, wife, mother, daughter, sister, godmother, friend, teacher, inspirational, truthful and I can go on. I laughed. I cried. My soul hurt. My soul was uplifted. I shouted. I praised our Heavenly Father. I was humbled. To live in the same years of this unique individual, I am truly in awe. This should be a must read for every person.

Powerful. A testament to the strength of black women every where and reminder that it’s really never too late to make an impact.

Wow! Ms Tyson was a powerhouse. This is a great book. A life’s story of love, pain, resilience, success and service by Cicely Tyson. She lifted herself and many others. This is a must read!

Tyson. This was a captivating book that described the events in the life of the amazing actress.

As I Am. This is one of the best books I have read because of the subject’s brilliant life. Miss Tyson’s candor about her childhood, career choices, her loves, and her family struggles do not disappoint; she is truly a legacy.

Reverse racism. Batak Obama is a traitor and a scum bag he is not an Afrikaner hero being black and pushing yourself forward as a strong black Wonsan is racist and repulsive any race lifting itself up as great race is called racism

Great Story of Cicely’s life .. Excellent reading.

The best !!!. The best book I have read all year long, and probably the book that has most impacted my life!!! Thank you Ms Tyson!!!!

Love her. I wept like a small child upon hearing the news of her passing. I’m glad I was able to get a closer look into her life. She’s truly a gem.

Integrity, Sensitivity, Power & Grace. The integrity that Cicely Tyson brought to all of her acting roles is central to this memoir. While I’ve always admired her acting for its sensitivity, power and grace, what she shares here is revelatory. Thank you, Ms.Tyson, for being.

This was soooo good.. We really overcome by the power of testimony. To read about her upbringing, relationships, friendships, parenting and work world truly blessed me

Just as I am. I loved this book it reminded me of who I am and who I could become as a black woman. This book encouraged me to instill hope in every black child I encounter in my life. There is no excuses for who you are.

Just amazing.. This book has so much wisdom and life lessons. I appreciate late Cicely Tyson for all her hard work in the community. See will always be remembered.

AN INDESCRIBABLE GIFT. I am speechless, there are no words that would adequately describe how great a read this is. You will not want to stop reading. It's like your walking with her as she explores her journey. It's very personal, it feels intimate. At the same time it's packed full of history because she had such a long life. It's an honor to bare witness to the growth of a person who has fully reached self actualization. It's like sitting at the feet of a wise woman and getting both her story and the way she interprets her story; she understands herself therefore it's relatable and a great teaching book but at the same time very warm and personal like two life long friends reminiscing , or talking to your favorite auntie at the kitchen table.

Legend.. Indescribable. I’m thankful Ms. Tyson blessed us with this masterpiece! I’ve laughed and I’ve cried. Rest In Peace Ms. Tyson! You will be greatly missed! I highly recommend this book!

What a Blessing. One of the best stories I have been blessed to read. God allowed Ms. Tyson enough time to finish her story and to pass her legacy on to me and others in her own words. A true blessing!!

A Life Well Lived. If we are blessed enough to live as long as Ms. Tyson did, may we each have a journey as beautiful as hers. Rest in Power. ✊🏾

Cicely Tyson. Insightfully intelligent. A fantastic journey..

An Inspirational and gifted being. This book is filled with so many life lessons and experiences we can learn from. I paid for the digital book, but I am also planning to by the physical copy. It’s a must add to one’s book collection. I enjoy reading autobiographical novels and reading her story and understanding what she went through as a person was just over all inspirational. I am so glad I read this book!

Just As I Am. Great read!!! Always loved Cicely Tyson’s work.
