Viola Davis
Viola Davis is undeniably a woman of unwavering Christian faith, and her journey in love and partnership is a testament to her strong belief. She once offered a heartfelt prayer to God, outlining the qualities she sought in a husband. Remarkably, just three weeks later, her prayer was answered when Julius Tennon, the man who would fulfill those very criteria, invited her to join him in worship. Their love story culminated in a heartfelt “I do,” sealing their commitment for a lifetime.
But their shared faith wasn’t limited to their personal lives; it extended to their professional collaboration as well. Viola and Julius joined forces to co-produce Emmanuel, a powerful documentary that revisits the tragic 2015 mass shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Their partnership in faith and their commitment to shining a light on important issues through their work serves as a testament to their shared values and dedication.
