Episode: Viola Davis: From Poverty to Powerhouse
Description: Viola Davis’ childhood was far from ideal. Struggling with poverty and racism, the “Fences” star’s very humble beginnings were tough, but instilled a fire in her that propelled Viola to where she is today. And that is a pretty remarkable place. Not only is she regarded as one of her generation’s greatest actors (hello, EGOT!), she’s also become a role model for Black women everywhere. And for that, she deserves all the flowers.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss. And check out the brand new Even the Rich merch store...
