Jenifer Lewis: The Mother of Black Hollywood Drops Legendary Wisdom | Legacy Talk with Lena Waithe

[@destinyelena919]

I wish this was 3 hours long i can hear Jenifer talk forever

[@piecesofs.h.e.podcast6840]

Same 🤩

[@Tamiko38]

Me too

[@LearnAsYouGo.]

I adore Jenifer Lewis! This interview felt rushed, there were so many stories that she wasn’t able to expound on. Lena would quickly move on to the next question instead of asking more probing questions about the current topic to get more out of the story. I’m still glad Lena took the time to do this interview with Jenifer.

[@piecesofs.h.e.podcast6840]

Yes, this one should have had a part 1 and a part 2 to get through everything thoroughly... I want more 😊

[@nikkirosay9732]

Yeah, I especially don’t like when she ignored her near death experience. If she didn’t want to expound on any other part of the interview, she could’ve at least expounded on that.

[@isaacscott1063]

Lema asked goooood questions but didn’t let her finish her answer.

[@marvintillis8136]

Jenifer Lewis is awesome. There will never be another like her!!!!

[@Melanated_never_duplicated01]

She is a naturally born character! Period 🤣🤣🤣

[@rednaxelaaj13]

The Laurence Fishburne story had me at the edge of my seat! 🤣 She's a phenomenally talented storyteller.

[@SayconTalks]

Ooooh i can’t wait to get to that part

[@piecesofs.h.e.podcast6840]

I didn't want this to end!!! There needs to be a movie about JL's life!! How magical would that be 🎉

[@yungijefferson7584]

"A human being as opposed to a human doing", I hope we all understood 🖤

[@nomadicmusic3558]

There were so many gems dropped throughout this 40 minute interview. Just breathtaking from beginning to end 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@manestreambeauty]

The Mother of Black Hollywood. Talk about six degrees of Jenifer Lewis. Unforgettable talent and charisma. "Caring about the audience. Honouring the audience. Loving the audience." That's a word.

[@chatwitcat6667]

JENNIFER LEWIS IS HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY 👑❤❤ EGOT BE DAMNED!!

[@Panama-e1]

I could listen to her for days!!

[@tinafieldergibson7824]

Mic drop, Ms. Lewis!

[@jrose1999]

She cuss so gooooood lol

[@ebonymckenzie1112]

Jennifer Lewis deserves a full walk-in closet of rewards. It’s a shame she hasn’t received the accolades she deserves. Jennifer has always been someone I look up to; she has shown me that my life is greater than what others say. Standing in truth, love, respect, consideration, and loyalty is the only way to be an unforgettable and undeniable human. As a Black woman, I am stronger than I realize, and the truth will set me free.

[@cwin721]

I used to love when she said "on my list" on a different world 😊

[@amparks51]

I literally have no words that can encapsulate this conversation. Living legend! Lena is a genius for creating this space. Thank you

[@jacquettafarrar]

Jenifer ‘MF’n’ Lewis is brilliant and such a Giant! This was so good and the chemistry between the two of them is hilarious

[@HRMRichard829]

How can anybody not love Jennifer Lewis! I saw her live one woman show in New York many years ago. When an audience member came in 5 minutes late and his seat was down front. She stopped the show, looked at her watch, and said to the man -- " What time does your watch say honey!?" The audience howled, and I fell in love with JL that night. Ive never laughed so hard in my life as I did in that show!

[@raquelevans5973]

I love Ms. LEWIS SHE DESERVES ALL HER FLOWERS ❤

[@vanessaturner3982]

I just love her when she's talking it feels like she is talking directly to you and giving you words of wisdom putting you in check all that put a smile on her face

[@iamdanismith]

This was so good! I love Jenifer Lewis and I could listen to her talk all day. If you haven't listened to her book, do it now! You won't regret it! Thanks for this show, Lena!

As I watch each episode back to back, I didn’t realize how thirsty I was for this content! These conversations are priceless 💎 Lena is keeping the people “hydrated” with history that will bring us all forward regardless if you’re into film and tv or not. Thank you Lena and Hillman Grad productions for capturing these moments and giving these women their flowers🤎🙏🏾 PS- speaking of hydration, Lena’s skin is flawless and glowing. It reminds me of that oiled down childhood face before going outside on a Chicago winter day; looking like a new copper penny. 🤎✨😊

I love her!!! I hope how much she knows she’s contributed to black film and tv. I have not had the pleasure of experiencing her on stage. Even if the character is not comedic, her roles always entertain and pull you into the scene. The Auntie of them all Very black, very authentic, very confident, very real, very epitome of Motha, very classy , very lady like, very Auntie, very loved, very original, not demure and we love it❤❤❤

I love love love THE Ms Jennifer Lewis! ❤
