    "Be happy on your way to your job, even if you don't like it. You have to be happy on your way to happy. Don't think your going to get there and be happy. You carry yourself with you!" - Jennifer Lewis

      I did too. That stood out the most to me because i hate my job and always feel so sad in my way to work thinking I'll just cheer up when i get there. Ms. Lewis dropped me a line and let me know I'm responsible for my happiness and i will be fucking happy.

      Absolutely! I felt as if I was at a live seminar or therapeutic session where someone was going on a long description about their life experiences with a captive audience. It's almost like The Breakfast Club had no choice but to forgo their usual interview approach because of the power that she brought into that room.

    I want to thank Mother Jenifer Lewis for helping me get help due to her previous interview. I've been diagnosed as bipolar and since getting help, I feel better. We must stop the mental health stigmas in the black community. As a mental health teacher, I teach my community about knowing the signs of mental illnesses and learning how to take the step forward to overcome it.

Where I come from, seeing a therapist/counsellor is not a ‘thing’ or u will face some stigma but when I saw Jeniffer Lewis’s interview I felt like she could understand u without u saying much. I wish there were more people like her. That’s wisdom from someone who has lived n experienced both positive n negative things in her life n she learnt from both experiences. Bless her

      Doesn't she though? The average person who has a big personality like this usually gets brushed aside as being too loud or ghetto, or just plain silly and stupid. Some of the most profound people are the most underestimated.

    I can’t even stop myself from crying, “I’m ready to admit that I’m sick...If I knew I was going to live this long, I would’ve taken better care of myself.” Sadly, I’ve been suffering with my mental illness in silence because I have this idea in my mind that I won’t live much longer anyway-so just deal with it until I no longer have to. But the truth is, if I get help and start taking care of me, I can live a long life overcoming it. My daughter needs me to overcome it.Thank you so much Jennifer Lewis. I needed your ray of sunshine today.

      That statement I would have taken better care of myself if I knew I would live this long…. Mmm mmm. I had the same psyche as you. But when you take care of yourself what follows that. Someone may not have loved you when you are going down. But when you are doing the work to make yourself up…. How powerful is that and how attractive is that. When I did the work I met a man who saw the work. I looked in the mirror and saw a man who did the work. Gay men of the 90s and before didn’t have a reality of hope. It was a realization of shadows. And now we are able to live in the light. You can do it baby.
