“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.

And here in my ninth decade, I am a woman who, at long last, has something meaningful to say.” –Cicely Tyson
