I will never forget I served her and her daughter at a restaurant and she told me she better not see me still working there when she comes next year or she would kick my ass😂😂😂. Needless to say I was a senior in college and graduated 6 months later! Thank you Queen!!
🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
👏
I chuckled at this comment, but the mandate was loud and clear. Congratulations on your accomplishment.
Congrats!
Congratulations 🎉 ❤️
She is the only person that can curse you out in love 😂😂 I could listen to her all day
Her & my moma lol
Iyanla vanzant can rough me up as well ❤️ yes ma'am 😂😂
Exactly and don't mind it, she have that aunt vibes so hard she will tell you shit you needed to hear in them family BBQ's 😅
Factor
I love her.
I just love her. She is a testimony to living your life for you and not others. She is what joy and peace looks like.
I was going to write a comment, you took the words out my mouth. She is life goals. She is fully in her F it bag. I want to get there. I disagree with her political view but who cares lol she still the best.
Same! I love her too. The best interview in my eyes. I would love to meet her
A real one, Queen.
Couldn’t say batter. Respect
YUUUUP
amen
How can you not love this woman? She’s absolutely everything 🥰
I would pay money to see her & luenell on here together 🤣🤣
Jennifer I said that
Wow we think a line I said that about Biden
Jenn damn please come on my show I say this
Wow wow wow
On August 30, 2019 I heard this woman speak on this show for the very fist time. She doesn't know this but from that day my life has never been the same. That day I decided to change my life because I was tired of being depressed and I wanted to be happy. Her energy, her words, her humor, her experiences, her stories, her book all impacted my life in a phenomenal way and I can say because of her today I am no longer depressed. I started taking care of myself and loving myself like I was supposed to, and today I can happily say I am at peace within and walking in my Joy. I pray for continued success, happiness and love throughout your career, your journey and your life. Thank you so much Miss Lewis. Much love from Jamaica.
Big up Sista. !
Keep u head up!
She did this for me when she went on Oprah many years ago. FRFR.
Same for me. That day I first saw her I was so inspired and happy to share with my friends how I had just seen that most amazing women on UA-cam. And that from this day on, I was gonna be a new and improved me. I even kicked my leg up like her. And just as I finished my sentence. A Karen tapped me on my shoulder and told me to keep my voice down. The timing was so perfect it felt like a scene in a movie. I said in my head NOT today SATAN. And it took all I had in me not to kick her ass. I said to her someone said when they go low you go high. And she responded, so your going low. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I still regret not kicking her ass. But according to everyone I share this story, say I did the right thing. I keep remembering the words of Miss. Lewis to lead with LOVE and be the light. I would like to believe that I made Tia Lewis proud that day by not letting hate win that day 🥰🥰🥰 Much love from Mexico.
That's beautiful ❤ I come back to listen when I need motivation
What did you do to get there?
she needs a podcast for sure. We could learn so much from her
so much experience and game to share
I listen to that podcast everyday 💯💯💯
Yes! That would be a great podcast out here.
white hollywood will "silence" her... this is why black hollywood keep her safe because she's way too important to the culture fr
Fr
I could prolly listen to Jennifer Lewis talk all day! Legend who deserves all of her 💐
Then buy her Audio book and you just got paid, it's fire!!
crying
what's "prolly"?
I was thinking that same thing ❤
@@beverleyreid563 Prolly is the abbreviation for the word probably.
Jennifer is extremely vibrant. She’s understands her audience, has so much grace, and wisdom and her heart transcends through love exceedingly! Her truth is inspiring and just a great example!!!

A quote to live by: "Not even me can stop me."- Jenifer Lewis
"I don't care about the other interview. I'm staying here becasue I'm talking to a lot of black kids." (I said the clean version...lol) Now this is the definition of a real beatiful black woman and someone who cares. I love her interviews. Her presence just scream's hope, success, joy, repsect and a whole bunch of other positive words I don't have time to type. Great interview.
✴*Respect We Are Beautiful People Let The Love Flowwww*✴
Presence*
You think her masculine, repulsive behavior is beautiful? No man would want a horrible woman like this, making a complete fool of herself.
It's impossible to not love this woman.
FR
Fact
What about me?? I wonder everyday is it impossible. My right hand kinda getting tired over here I'm over using it
💯💯💯
She drops so many GEMS and life outtakes when she come through.
Her interviews are GOLDEN. 🙏🏾❤💯
Yessss you worded this perfectly! She is a treasure 🤎
I've known Jenifer Lewis since 1983, and she has not changed...One bit! This literally who she is! Straight, no chaser.
And I wouldn't have her any other way. The male version of her is Samuel Jackson
You are so blessed to know such a beautiful blessing that is Queen Jenifer Lewis
@@bigredd690facts!!!!😂❤
She deserves her roses. She speaks so much knowledge and is really giving jewels
Her interviews should never be less than an hour! We need more!
I just experienced sheer Black joy, laughter, and inspiration watching this. This woman makes me believe in humanity again. She is our gem!
her energy is magnetic. She is such a powerful speaker and must be protected.
i struggle with alcoholism and felt pretty down today this morning and so far watching this interview it lifted my spirits to fight another day. god bless :) laughter is the best medicine.
Keep fighting , one day at a time🥰
Sending love strength and you can do it surround yourself with sober stress-free people 💐💗💐
good luck to you bro
God knows ur struggles before you discover them. Draw to him. Tell The enemy he’s had enough of your life and been apart of your journey for too long, your reclaiming the greatness God made and let God pour his light and love into you like the alcohol came out ur pours his grace will replenish!!
I pray God take that taste from you. You can walk in your purpose. I believe in you. Sending prayers your way. Continuing blessings upon you.
She’s so Saint Louis and also explosive. Her being bipolar is merged in such a lovely artistic way. She takes away the stigma.
A very profound statement, indeed 👍
'Come out of them dark rooms with all that depression'. That hit, had to listen to that a few times. In the room right now.
I pray in the name of Jesus you find freedom and step into the light of His love ❤
I love this womans energy and spirit
That's because it matches your ignorance
As I was about to type my comment you already said it. My exact words Lbs! She is so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Her spirit, energy, and realness is everyyythhhiiingggg!!!!
Mad I’m too young for her
Mad I’m too young for her
There’s only a handful of people who can capture an audience like this beautiful Queen. I truly hear and feel every word. She makes you laugh one minute and cry the next. I’m so glad she’s getting her flowers.
My momma had me watching SISTER ACT and I was born in 1996! I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder at 9 years old. This woman just changed my life. I'm definitely buying this book!
Biploar at 9 yeas old? I thought this is only a diagnosis that goes to 18 years and older?
Yes 9 years old. Lol unfortunately, 18 years old thing, that’s not the case. Atleast in Louisiana. Well, basically all of USA I would think. But don’t quote me on that.
Get her 1st book also!!
There was no differential diagnosis for you at 9 years old. Sounds like a scary system there in the United States. I hope you are keep well and living in a healthy space.
"I Love That For You", I watched all 8 episodes. I laughed to tears and I cried to tears. January 2021 I was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. This past August I was informed it's in remission for which I'm truly grateful. Thanks Ms. Jennifer Lewis ❤
Congrats! On your remission. Please keep taking care of your health and walking in your joy!!!
Congratulations! ❤️
Congratulations 🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations on your remission! I too was diagnosed in January 2021 but with soft tissue sarcoma & now I’m in remission !
Wow praise God
“Get it up or get stabbed!!” Words to live by! 😂😂 I love her 💞
I’m sure we are all in agreement that we all absolutely LOVE her!
Yes we do 🙌🏾
Yeah I watched the whole interview and didn't even realize it that's how good it was. She's a very intelligent black queen. I learned alot from this interview
Ohhhhh yes! 🙋🏾♀️💜💐
I loveeeeee this ladyyyyy. I truly understand her. Everything she has and become. She deserves it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
FR. Same
Her energy is so infectious ! I just love her to pieces, and being that I also have Bipolar disorder that makes me look up to her so much more ❤️❤️
She’s so inspiring
Same here 🙋🏽♀️‼️
I love the way Charlamagne behaved towards her, very respectful and caring. Char respects elders, especially when they look like our mothers. Well done Charlamagne.
She needs her own talk show / healing show to help others . She is one of my favorite people
I love her. I watch everytime she’s on. She’s just legendary and we need to give her her flowers for all the characters she’s brought to life. Her voice, her tone, her energy, she is everything!
Always did u see her in this new show called I Love That for You??? I truly enjoyed that series and I hope it comes back on
Her voice and energy has always been strong!!
It gets annoying.
@@thesnailiscoming..5736 to you and only to you.
@@thesnailiscoming..5736 speak for yourself
Her voice makes my spirit feel stable yet free at the same time. I was diagnosed bipolar, and I didn't wanna take my medications either for these same reasons.
What a joy and Privilege, It would be to sit down with this woman and have a conversation. Ms. Lewis is iconic!
The wisdom of the ancestors flows from her in these interviews. I love her! I wish more black women would understand that their best contribution is to live their best life, not be in the background, sacrificial so every one else (except her) can enjoy the rewards of her labor
“Live on purpose.” God knows I needed to hear this crazy broad this morning. Stuck in a hamster wheel. I have to start living on purpose. Thank you Ms. Lewis
I love her, shes my aunty in my head. I love her compassion, her testimony, and her attitude towards everything she's been through.
I absolutely love when Jennifer Lewis comes to The Breakfast Club. She is a phenomenal person who thrives in spite of all the obstacles in her life. Everything that should’ve taken her out, only makes her stronger. I also really appreciate the way Charlemagne and Envy always show her so much respect and admiration. Her stories and the inevitable laughter that follows from everyone on set always lifts me up. I love you Ms. Lewis!!
She is the definition of why we all need each other. Her vibe is everything.
I love that she empowers her mon amd doesn't blame her for not being able to show affection I feel more ppl need to realize there parents aren't God or superman but the same human as they are and that they make mistakes that might be pivotal in your life but not on purpose rather simply out of ignorance💞 love your parents and give them a break 💖
Amen
Sooo true
So true but kids respect what they see ….she probably saw and felt the struggle her mother went through and the willingness she continued to raise them with no matter how hard it was
Others, on the other hand, do feel like their parents didn’t care at all and tts also different
She has me in tears but she is so anointed for this, this bright light and pure soul is needed for the world we are in today. When she started speaking in tongues I busted out laughing but she felt every word she was speaking. Jennifer Lewis is the IT factor. Wise, full of courage and full of unconditional love.
'you cant be touched when you start off good'
i really wish she be coming more often she is such a gem, and you just wanna listen to her talk.
I love her, her movies, her personality, and her energy! 💙‼️ She’s so funny 😆
I remember seeing her one night walking on 34th st. In ‘06 with a young guy on her arm and I didn’t recognize her until she threw her head back and laughed so hard and loud then she proceeded to laugh down the street. I was trying to tell my friends who she is but couldn’t remember her name in the moment and kept repeating “you know she plays everybody’s mama” 😂.
She’s a treasure 🙏🏾. I love her, her wisdom, & joy 👑💜💐✨
I’m in tears watching & listening to this Queen preach 🥹 …may she have a shield of protection around her for as long as possible cuz WE Need her 🙌🏾
Jennifer Lewis is LIFE ✨🖤✨
I can’t wait to read her book 📕 ✨🥰
She's literally been that funny cool aunt since I've 1st seen her on fresh prince as a child. Love this woman bless her heart
Jennifer Lewis was clearly born to be an actress!
She was born to be FREEEE !!!!
From all of the shit that drops in this world.
I dnt say this lightly......
This was 1 of the best BC interviews I've seen. Easily top 3. So many layers to this interview....this woman is a national black treasure and we need to protect her @ all costs.... And she is HILARIOUS!! 🤣 🤣 I love this woman 🙏🏾
Her first one is my favorite. I think this is her third. Watch the others, if you haven't seen them.
YES please
Just watched this after a challenging day and Jenifer Lewis made me feel lighter with laughter. Her positive energy, joy and wisdom is such a treat to behold. We must protect our queen. She is a tower of talent. She is legendary.😍👏❤️👏
Me too! Yes and Amen.
Every day is a challenge, for me
----'And I'm bipolar, too
Such a huge fan of hers. The work that she's doing in regards to mental illness in terms of talking about it and removing the stigma is refreshing ♥️♥️♥️😊
This was a message I needed to hear!!! I’ve been talking to myself for the past few days about being better and surrounding myself w more happiness and elevation. And really just understanding how to be in life-living life and having a purpose. I love her and the success she has endured is amazing bc she’s touching so many peoples heart. Congrats on her book. I know it’ll be a NY Seller. Love equates to love. Nothing less, 💗
It's always a good day when you hear Jenifer Lewis's voice.
"I'm staying here cause I know I'm talking to a lot of black kids." 💯🙌🏾✊🏾
I love Jenifer Lewis. The rawness really helps the message to hit home. Thanks to the Breakfast Club for being a safe place for real talk ❤
❤safe space is exactly what it is
I will always love her, man. Something about her energy is just. . . I can't describe it. She always makes me think when I watch her interviews. Her wisdom is unmatched.
She makes bad words sound good!!! Love this woman and the fact she's okay with herself!!!! 🙏🏿 nothing but good grace for her in all her endeavors!!!! Every role she plays in, fits her true SELF!!!
I love Ms Jenifer Lewis. I read her previous book, “Mother of Black Hollywood”. I can’t wait to read the new book.
OMG, I’m trying not to holler out loud listening to this! 😅 I love Auntie Jennifer Lewis! She is the embodiment of being resilient and loving yourself thru. Man I can sit at her feet and listen her all day. ❤️❤️
Its these lives and stories we must cherish and never forget. My own grandmother fought hard and garnished an education against odds. Jennifer gives back to her mother and what she experienced by educating us and giving us a the blue print. I live on purpose because my ancestor gave it all so I could. I'm forever grateful , forever What a legend love this woman!
Amen 🙏🏾
Words cannot express how much I admire and LOVE this woman❤
love her!!! listen/read her book, came out a few years ago…she narrates it herself on audible. one of my fav books and actresses!! 💕
Thanks !!! This is what I was hoping for. Going to buy it now
My niece sent me the link to listen to her. She loves her.
“Drink Water….dumbasses” was hilarious! Perfect comedic timing.
I love her energy, I need someone like this is my life she is pure JOY!
I love her so much. Protect her at all cost. She saying what everyone else is thinking.
*YaZzzz Auntee Does🤣😍🤩*
Exactly
It can also be destruction on earth when the world is of the same mind in accord with the accuser of the brethren ( Rev.12 :10) ,whose wound has been healed, as relates to Rev.13:3
She came in cussin😂😂but she is the only person who cusses at you out of love and you feel it deep in your bones!She makes you laugh,cry(in a good way),learn and educate you and raises your spirit up (and i'll riiiiiiiissseee up!😂💯🙌🏼Always will love and appreciate the QueenMother Auntie Jennifer Lewis👸🏿👸🏿👸🏿🖤🖤🖤🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was my life. Found out I was bi polar. At 28.
It feels good to have someone understand your diagnosis and to acknowledge some of the symptoms such as promiscuity
If you get a chance read her first book. She is an inspiration to a lot of people who are dealing with their Bipolar diagnosis. She’s so real and unapologetic about it. I am hoping you start feeling better. Be blessed. 🤗☺️☺️
What are your symptoms? Just asking for myself.
@@mustangschelle68 Thank you queen. Something that I noticed about her interview as well was when she brought up majority of Hollywood mask their symptoms especially the mania into their craft. I always felt like I belong in some sort of Sort is because it seems that all of them are bipolar like she says lol.
@@GrizzlyFlyDesigns Pressured speech, short-term memory loss, going from being happy and excited, ready to take on the world to being really depressed and having intrusive thoughts all the time. I’ve gone months with my house looking like a hoarder, trash everywhere, old food boxes, tub dirty anything you can think of. Being promiscuous to having a one track mind. like thats all I’m focused on when I am on that level. whatever it is if I have my mind set on something, I go for it without really thinking it through. I’ve had sex with guys I just met or normally wouldn’t sleep with and afterwords I feel crummy because I’m coming off of my hypomania. Being restless, being agitated for instants you know how kids bother you until they get your attention? I’ll fix my mind on them and look at them but I kind of turn my head like the exorcist because it’s like “what do you want?“ but I don’t hurt them I snap out of it And smile because I love kids. it’s just aggravating for anyone to do. I can cry off the drop of a hat and then turn around and get happy and about 0-10 minutes or I could stay sad. And when I say pressured speech I can lose topic of a lot of things or I may talk loudly And fast to you but in my mind I can’t really hear myself talking so I tend to talk louder. Just a few things that I can think of off the top of my head but depression and promiscuity are a lot of the major things for me. People don’t understand and I think you can just snap out of it if you want to, there are a lot of things you can do to prevent it from being so severe but it’s not that easy. I have lived a good and blessed life I can’t complain, but I had huge episodes every summer that I can think of. And I know that I had it in high school because I had behavior issues but it was left over because I was a black girl tall black girl at that.
@@BIGREDD9305 I love your transparency. I have depression and that too is also terrible. We aren’t our illnesses though. Thank you for educating us on ours experiences. 🙏🏾
An absolutely living legend!!! Everything she has been in, not once has she disappoint!! One of the greatest to ever do and have done it. She deserves all of her 💐
💐
My GOD her personality is everything
She was giving me chills seriously
It's crazy I actually thought she was older than 65
She’s right, traveling is my peace and living my best life like Jenifer living her best life as living on purpose!!
I love her energy and personality... praise god for her healing and getting help with her bipolar.
I love her so much she has always been my idol, since a little kid. Now at 29 to suffer from depression. . She is now my motivation to keep going. I love you Miss.Lewis!
💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
"Life is not a Rehearsal"-Jennifer Lewis🤩💕
I will watch every interview with her! She gives me life, hope, and laughter! Just love her!
I just love her ....her honest, hard humor, her attitude is everything. She just gives life. I just love this woman
Always drops gems , always in character , her stories make sense about who she is….Love her so much
I wish they would’ve got that Boondocks remake going with her. Someone on the internet suggested that she play Granddad’s sister, and the kids go live with her (since John Witherspoon passed). That was a dope idea!
McGruder needs to make this happen!
@@DjProdigy909 they were gonna do a remake but it was cancelled
I really like that idea!
That would work
I could listen to her talk for days. Laughed/cried
Amazing interview
I am sooo grateful for this episode BREAKFAST CLUB!!! Please Please Please try to interview more LEGENDS like Ms Jenifer Lewis!!! 💯🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Just love her!! An epitome of a wise grown woman! Who embodies everything a real proud woman should be!! Doing it well gracefully with humor!!♥️
I love her so much and am so grateful. I’m a former foster kid, I graduated with my master’s from Columbia but I’ve been in bed all day depressed because my brother has schizoaffective and it makes us fight, my ass has bipolar 😢 it’s like we’re doomed… but she gave me some strength and reminded me I should prob seek help tomorrow
Gifted!!!
GET UP!! GET UP!!! MOVE AND GET UP!! 🙏
I was just thinking about her last interview on the breakfast club a few days ago and now she’s back. She speak with so much wisdom and positive vibes
She’s so righteous and radiant that when she speaks and quotes them phrases it feels like she’s speaking directly to me 🥰 All messages received Auntie ✨
Ms Lewis is dope!
This is probably the most love I've ever seen for a guest B4 in the comment section..and it definitely make sense.
I absolutely love this woman. We need more of her in the world 🌎. She’s definitely enjoying the fruits of her labor 🙏🏾🥰🙌🏾
This interview was a God sent 📌 Thank you Breakfast Club... Everything that was said I needed to hear TODAY📌
I am so upset, and I have not even watched the interview. How can they only talk to her for 30 minutes. 🤯 SHOW SOME RESPECT. I love her so much.🥰
Her conversation deserves a oscar
“You know that black people ain’t got time to finish the word” I laughed so hard lmfao I love her
I read your book. My husband grew up in the same area at the same time in Saint Louis as you did. I felt as if I knew what you were talking about and was right there with you. Your book was so inspiring and forced me to face my own issues. I love you more and admire you more since reading your book. Your biography is the first one I finished in a day. Thank you auntie
I’m bipolar as well and watching Jennifer Lewis made me feel good about my personality 🥰 she is so dynamic, raw, authentic, passionate and 100% herself unapologetically. This was an outstanding interview of an amazing woman!❤❤❤
Jennifer is as real as it gets. Salute to this queen finally getting her flowers while she can smell them.
When she speaks...WE LISTEN. Love love LOVE her❤️❤️❤️
Jenifer is one phenomenal woman. I’m so intrigued with her story and never tire of hearing it❤
That welfare bar was so accurate.. my grandma was born in the 1920s and she always told my mother to never let them in your house because the will put you in the system if they see that your living means are low and by the grace of god my mom didn’t have to raise us in a system designed to keep you down.
Her first book was incredible. I’ll definitely support and read the newest.
Please appreciate your elders. Especially this Queen who has shared so much with the world through her art.
This is exactly what I’ve been saying for years. Literally everything she said I believe is true. She is amazing in her new show. That role was made for her and is very close to who she is. She is so wise! Love her🥰🥰🥰
I love her so much! She’s so free spirited 💫
I love her interviews. She’s so vibrant and real. She’s the definition of confident!
Talking about cockroaches and trailers and calling people dumb bitches, is what I AM HERE FOR!
I just love the way she tells stories 😊
