The featured book for that year was <em>Finding Me: A Memoir <\/em>by Viola Davis, a renowned actress and TRIO Upward Bound alumna. Within the book, she candidly recounts her experiences with poverty, racism, and self-discovery, shedding light on her personal struggles with identity and self-worth. Through unwavering resilience and determination, Davis ultimately triumphs over adversities to become a highly respected and influential presence in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the spring and summer of 2023, TRIO programs nationwide organized local book club chapters to engage program participants in reading and discussing <em>Finding Me<\/em>. The book club discussions served as inspiration for student essays and artwork, with essay prompts revolving around themes such as addressing bullying, the severity of bullying in schools or communities, and creating resources for bullying victims. The art challenge encouraged students to draw inspiration from the themes explored in the memoir for their creative expressions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/COE-2023-Opportunity-Matters-Book-Club-Student-Essays.pdf\" target=\"_self\" class=\"acf-link button\" >READ THEM HERE<\/a>\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<section\r\n\t\tclass=\"offset-media-text wow alignfull coe-block\">\r\n\t<div class=\"container offset-media-text__inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row reverse-content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt__post offset-media-text__content column-2 wow animate fade-in-stagger\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"type kicker\">Maura Casey<\/div>\t\t\t<h2>The Sisterhood: Deloris Davis Grant and Dianne Davis Wright Lead Book Club Discussion of Sister Viola Davis\u2019s Memoir, Finding Me<\/h2>\t\t\t<p class=\"post-date\">May 10, 2023<\/p>\t\t\t<div class=\"description\">Both women, throughout the conversation, marveled at what they had been through and the many achievements of the women in their family.
