This week, we bring to you our conversation with living legend, Jenifer Lewis. You know her from your favorite sitcoms like
Fresh Prince, Girlfriends, and most recently,
Black-ish, as well as iconic films like
What’s Love Got to Do With It? (playing Angela Bassett’s mother)
, The Preacher’s Wife (as Whitney Houston’s mom)
, and
Poetic Justice (as Tupac’s mom). She has a new memoir out, fittingly called
The Mother of Black Hollywood. She chats with us about her illustrious career, navigating bipolar disorder, and learning how to properly self-care. Plus, she shares with us some valuable insight on whether or not Tom Hanks is a black man, and you might hear her sing a song or three with Tracy (!).
