“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 award-winning actress who has been blessed to grace the stage and screen for six decades. Yet I am also the church girl from Harlem 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

  • A Black History Masterpiece: More than a memoir, this is a vivid, first-person account of a life that shaped American culture, from the streets of Harlem to the heart of the Civil Rights Movement.
  • An Inspirational Memoir of Faith and Perseverance: Discover the story of the quiet church girl who found her voice and became a legendary actress, guided by her faith through a life where she "hurt as immeasurably as I have loved."
  • Six Decades of an Iconic Career: Go behind the scenes of a trailblazing, six-decade career on stage and screen, from the roles that defied stereotypes to the moments that defined a generation.
  • Plain and Unvarnished Truth: In her own words, offered in her ninth decade, Cicely Tyson sets aside the glitter and garland to share her story with raw honesty and profound wisdom.
Ms. Cicely Tyson is an actress, lecturer, activist, and one of the most respected talents in American theater and film history. From her starring role on Broadway in The Blacks (1961), to the Emmy-nominated 1999 HBO film A Lesson Before Dying, her work has garnered critical and commercial applause for more than sixty years. Her two Emmys for The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman made her the first African-American woman to win an Emmy for Best Actress. In 2013, Ms. Tyson won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for her performance as Miss Carrie Watts in The Trip to Bountiful. A capstone achievement came in 2018, when she became the first Black woman to receive an honorary Oscar. The Board of Governors voted unanimously to honor her with the award, which came 45 years after her Academy Award nominated performance in Sounder.
