What a powerful testimony! Her mom had 7 kids by 27 years old but made sure they all got a college degree. Just awesome!!
Yesssss awesome.
Phenomenal woman
I can see why Jenifer is such a strong, powerful woman. She came from a strong, powerful woman.
💕
One of the greatest compliments to give am interviewer is "I loved your questions!" They were not formulaic - engaged and Present. The interviewer also seemed very organic in allowing the guest, Jenifer to finish full thoughts. Loved it...
I have always loved Jenifer Lewis from The Fresh Prince of Belair and Beyond 💫💫💫🌟🌟👏👏👏

I could listen to Jennifer Lewis for hours... I just adore her
She is so gifted & so incredibly honest! Just caught her in "Jackie's Back" Movie. In the movie, Jackie, the Actress goes back to her hometown which is actually Jenifer's hometown. She is such an inspiration! This is an exceptional interview here. I enjoy being a part of the UT audience. Thanks. Best wishes to all. ❤❤❤

I love this woman!! Jennifer Lewis! She is POWERFUL! I am buying her book to support " TRUTH 2 POWER"
Her brother (top right of the fam pic) was my junior high civics/social studies teacher. Amazing guy, and had a mural up on the wall of her.
I absolutely admire Jenifer Lewis. I can relate to her story on so many levels. I am so impressed with how she took her trauma and triumph. I was molested by my male babysitter and eventually diagnosed as bi-polar 2. I took refused to give up my edge by being medicated. At one point, I was given lithium and became a detached, emotion less and miserable person. I prayed and asked God not to leave me in this mental state. I wasn't sure if the effects of the lithium would wear off, but thankfully it did after several months.
Ms Lewis Thank you. I do my Best as a Man to Never put Women in the Place your were put in. Thank you for Pressing Foward. I admire your Work.
I love Jennifer Lewis! So glad to hear her here
GREAT INTERVIEW!!!
She’s amazing!
I discovered that most people who deal with the depression and manic are artistic and creative. I made this discovery myself after reading the history of VanGough..
Her hair is gorgeous!
Amazing interview! Thank you for highlighting the dangerousness of the depression and mania if left untreated. " You've got to be patient if you want to do well".
I would love if everyone was this honest in their interviews. So Refreshing
💯
I wish she had run for president in 2020
Wow! What an amazing interview! Dynamic! Engaging!
Well done!
I love Jennifer Lewis! Jennifer stands in her realness, her life's purpose is to us what has been given to her: she shares, she teaches, she puts a face to what/how/why it's important to be real, and to live in peace, joy, justice, abundance, justice, compassion...... I love Jennifer Lewis!
Even her interviews can be paid specials.
Auntie Jennifer....I love you!!
Wow. Thank you!
A personality larger than life.
❤❤❤
"We all bleed red, come together is what I say" [Me too!]
That reporter had caught on to Jennifer Lewis, she stayed on track throughout the conversation!
Jenifer Lewis has so much life in her.Such an incredible woman!
Simply the BEST...🤩😍😏😊☺👍👏.
"Let me live in my joy!"
Please also view Ms. Jenifer Lewis in the former 1995 CBS series Courthouse. A great series. Would love to see that series on DVD
10:40-10:50 had me dead. 😂😂😂
8:20 I felt that as a theater actress.
Jennifer Lweis u are amazing beautiful woman thanks speaking your truth. Love always
Rowdy and crazy bad combo
THIS WOMAN IS PHENOMENAL AND BRUTALLY HONEST BUT SO PHENOMENALLY REAL!!!!!!
Impressive lady.
I wish the interviewer had not constantly interrupted Lewis' flow.
I totally agree!!!
🎉 💕 💐 🎇 🔥 😊 💪
This woman has seen some shit. May she live a happy remnant years.
Took all this time to realize she wasn’t The Chief from Carmen San Diego.
I love Jennifer lewis but as a introvert....l need a NAP!
For real. She makes me laugh but I could only take her in doses 😂
She is one of my favorite actresses. I love her transparency. Unfortunately, I don't identify with her stories about life. Nevertheless they are very interesting. With regards to, sex addictions, etc...
Most people would not dentify with the specifics
I wish this interview lasted longer.
I cannot stand it when this interviewer keeps interrupting during the most important parts of Jenifer's life! If she cannot take it, she shouldn't be interviewing anyone. She treats her like she isn't a celebrity, she shows zero reaction, she's cold.
Ugh!
I have never seen Black ish ever!
You don't know what you are missing, check it out!!
@@michelledixon3977 If you say so!
She repeats the same stuff in every interview.
