Buy now to get the key takeaways from Cicely Tyson's Just as I Am.

Sample Key Takeaways:

1) Cicely Tyson never intended to write an autobiography. She once met Barbara Jordan, the first Black woman to be elected to the Texas Senate, who told her she wouldn't write a book until she had something to say. Cicely felt the same – her life accomplishments spoke for themselves.

2) Yet people all around her were always telling her she should write a book. She never understood why, as she felt she'd told her story throughout her career and award-winning performances.
