“If you want to walk in your joy, Lewis advises, you must love yourself, set boundaries, and remember that you oversee your happiness.”- Starred Booklist .
A self-described “traveling fool and nature freak,” Jenifer takes readers with her all over the world, from Cape Town to Bali; Washington, DC, to the Serengeti; Mongolia to St. Petersburg; and Argentina to Antarctica to demonstrate how she walks in her joy by seeking pleasure in everyday encounters. Every step of the way you’ll be doubled over with laughter as she faints at the Obamas’ holiday party; awakens to a swollen face and has to go to the hospital during the height of the Covid pandemic; an alien visitation; a successful takedown of a conman; as well as meeting a handsome Maasai warrior and being chased by a Cape buffalo.
An actress, activist, and mental health advocate, Jenifer Lewis imparts ways to love yourself that will allow you to deflect negative energy and keep people who may come to take your joy in check. She stresses the importance of fully living to your greatest ambitions and taking the time to admire the world’s natural gifts. She also encourages embracing each other’s uniqueness as a way of finding societal healing. Walking in My Joy is a riveting and enthralling journey. - Zábava

BC' BLACK HOLLYWOOD THEY UNDERGRADE AFRICAN-AMERICAN ACTOR'S THIS DAY IN TIME....
I AM VERY PROUD 👏 PROUD OF YOU JENIFER LEWIS.... I'VE READ YOUR 1ST BOOK 📖 I WILL BE BUYING YOUR 2ND BOOK 📖
the pink and yellow are popping and that black background are taking it there is like hey I'm here the one you want 😆 I hope Jennifer loves forever she looks like she's ready for it
I feel like Niecy Nash should’ve got her own tv talk show instead of Sherri. Both ladies are amazing and beautiful.
Nash can't be used. Sherri is naive and able to be used.
Nash would have been majestic! 😊
WOW!!
That's right Auntie. Know your audience. Let Kenya KNOW nobody messes with our Jackie Washington 😅🙂🥰🤣
This is the most impactful interview I have EVER seen and took in. As a black man fighting as an artist late in my youth, I would give anything to meet and be in her presence. I left the box when I realized that I can’t compete trying to be like everyone else, but I can shine like a star when I just let the gifts God gave me guide me. In my generation I can only be so lucky to reach out to fellow artists. Jennifer you are an icon and wise beyond the courageous trail you blaze!
I will meet you one day and I hope you see this is I can speak about it directly to you.
Someone said, “You can’t write a book” I wrote 9! Someone says you can’t aspire to be an entertainer and I am international and still they doubt. They said I can’t get a degree- I went and got three or them. All 4.0gpa at 45! I’ll fly anywhere to meet ya!
I love Niecy Nash Claws Up Bitches
13:03 yes we will gurl Don't worry
tears for the Ruby,Hart and Kendrick. Rest in Power 3 of you. thoughts with loved ones. read an interview with Colin cos of Jenifers' book dedication. Damn ;-( Grief support is needed
I'm bipolar too and I'm 34 and it's hard to deal wit this disease
❤❤
CONGRATULATIONS ITS ABOUT MY DANG TIME
🙏🏾🙏🏾
❤🙏
you find it easier to make adult decisions as you get older the challenge is staying alive long enough to get older and then you pass that Spirit on to the next individual (s) in order to perpetuate it it becomes greater it becomes weaker as it goes along and eventually it is a whole new animal but the thing is to look back in give them a start they must respect the elders though they have a lot more than they can imagine and it's not just money that's about 10% of it all like I was taught to do gas water electrical and I look back still but I don't have to I'll need to help those behind me for them to accept that and run with it and a positive way that makes life worth living
❤
🎉🎉❤❤🎉❤🎉
I love her, she seems like a very classy conservative Rosa Parks type hehe
8:36 🤣
I LOVE YOU JENIFER!!!!! I BELIEVE YOU CAN WIN AN OSCAR WITH PORTRAYING MY MOTHER!!!! IT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE FOR YOU TO PLAY MY MOTHER!!!!!!! Speaking it into existence. 1/12/23
Wow she deserve 2 stars
how do you be depressed when you are Jennifer Lewis I like her the lady that's on Firefly the Big Mama on Fridays I basically like loud mouth black women especially when they got something good to say always sexy but always lady like
some food got right up next to Jennifer kissable distance and plugged it off my God she is like the best thing that could happen to a man he was right up on it all up in his face and he did not realize it I am sure that there is a such thing of being that stupid but I have never heard of the turn super ultra mega over the top all the way there and back she is my fantasy older women if I would have had a chance I would have made it like the queen that she is and I would have made sure everybody else knew it too
Niecey Nash is a horrible interviewer… this made my head hurt
😂
❤
