Could she be any more fabulous? I think not! It’s always so inspiring to discover an icon to adore when they are increasingly scarce and uncommon.

I was recently a victim of Narcissistic Abuse. Had no knowledge of NPD - Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is a form of mental illness. We’ve got to educate ourselves. So true, while we are/were victims, we have to acknowledge and heal or own wounds that allowed us to accept the bullshit!

[@keenanrobinson9558]

I swear if this woman gave a sermon every Sunday I would def have to tune in for it! This woman is so highly intelligent it’s crazy!

[@tasiawood]

When she speaks she reminds me of Kyle Barker on Living Single lol

[@Niqueofthe90s]

tasiawood yessss 😂

[@tykelwilliams6053]

What if she play Kyle’s mother on a living single reboot

[@SGoddessmua]

This woman is so amazing! I wish she was my aunty

[@esintial]

[@Iconic58]

I have always loved Ms. Lewis and Loretta Devine!!!! Those are my absolute FAVORITES!!!! I didn't know she had a book out and after seeing this video and the one before I am definitely definitely adding it to my collection. WOW! She is ALL of that!! love her openness and she is so real about lady life.

[@NaturalElicia]

I love her and she is so beautiful in and out!

[@DGrassE]

I would love to be a fly on the wall un her therapy sessions... she doesn't hold back in regular life imagine how she is in therapy.

[@WH012Vids]

I feel bad for that interviewer lol. The force of her presence and being was so overwhelming! I just don't think he could keep up, or match that force. She's such a grand personality. Enjoyed every moment of it, but not sure I could handle it lol. I might have been completely drained by the end. She knows who she is, and she just exudes confidence and greatness.

[@drakecampbell6150]

WH012Vids I know he was thinking lord this lady is crazy 😂

[@sandrahughey8183]

She's Right about it all. #We"R"Stars

[@marybracy8087]

Fabulous interview!

[@TruSol]

This was a great interview

[@infamousdiva7]

this interviewer at times looked confused at her sense of humor as if he knew who she was, but doesn't KNOW who she is....

[@IAMMOVIN4WARD]

He's a millennial, so maybe that explains his actions. I agree, as a Gen Xer, he didn't grow up watching her the way I did. He can only relate but SO far!

[@infamousdiva7]

IAMMOVIN4WARD! ur right!!!!!

[@gicandathomas606]

God Bless You for doing this interview. It's the best interview I've ever seen.

[@lisaflagg3922]

[@rachealsilburn901]

The interviewer couldn’t keep up with Jenny.

[@maureensorey4681]

Yes

[@BertandErnie976]

She speaks like Iyanla Vanzant

[@garyrobertson2840]

a wonder of a woman and human being.

[@shaniceb9827]

Madam president Jenifer Lewis

[@recoveringmelanin4421]

Lmfaoooo..i love her

[@crystalmorrison1616]

My ex is bi polar so he said and others I too think so

[@blacmonroesnowh.b.i.c2752]

👑👑👑

[@rynoscheepers6807]

No offense to this channel or the interviewer but this sort of interview had to be done by Oprah Winfrey or Iyanla

[@Hendog1mil]

JustRay true but we would have gotten a restrained filtered interview controlled by the network. This however was bold honest and most importantly REAL!!!!!!!

[@FredWoodard]

I think the brotha did an excellent job. He kept the focus on Ms Lewis and asked and insightful questions.

[@garyrobertson2840]

i see what you're saying, but I love that she's being interviewed by a young black man from a different generation. it sets a tone in the interview that i don't think it would have if she was talking to oprah. she's a force, but the interviewer held his own and asked good questions. the dynamic really allowed her to shine. loved it.

[@veecee917]

I just fell in love with her right now. Fierce!

[@aceblizz224]

I love this woman but I think she was wrong about the president of then. But that probably could apply now.

[@ajajohari1]

I appreciate the interview, but first time on a big stage? That’s not true at all

[@MoneyComethToshelia]

Wow... Be careful who we allow in our space
