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
