#FlashbackFriday Viola Davis Explains Meaning Behind Her “Only” Childhood Pic

September 4, 2020 by watkinsT Leave a Comment

Several years ago, Oscar winner Viola Davis posted a pic of her only childhood photo and explained on her Instagram what the picture meant to her.

The actress shared an excerpt from an interview she did with PEOPLE, “The only picture I have of my childhood is the picture of me in kindergarten. I have this expression on my face — it’s not a smile, it’s not a frown. I swear to you, that’s the girl who wakes up in the morning and who looks around her house and her life saying, ‘I cannot believe how God has blessed me. I was the kind of poor where I knew right away I had less than everyone around me,” she says. “Our environment, our physical space reflected our income.” At home, “the boards were coming off the walls,” she says, and the family endured “shoddy plumbing and no phone and no food and rats and all of that. That very much was visible to me.”
