Davis, 57, won the award for "Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording," according to a tweet from the Recording Academy, which hosts the Grammys."I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola," she said. "To honor her life, her joy, her trauma, everything. And, it has just been such a journey -- I just EGOT!"

Davis' career has been studded with awards and firsts. In 2015, she became the first Black woman to win an Emmy for best actress in a drama and in 2017, she became the first Black woman to score three Academy Award nominations.
