À propos de cet audio
AudioFile Magazine Earphones Award Winner
The "Mega Diva" and legendary star of Black-ish looks back on her memorable journey to fame and the unforgettable life lessons she learned along the way.
Jenifer Lewis keeps it real in this provocative and touching memoir by a Midwestern girl with a dream whose journey from poverty to Hollywood will move, shock, and inspire listeners.
Told in the audacious voice her fans adore, Jenifer describes a road to fame made treacherous by dysfunction and undiagnosed mental illness, including a sex addiction. Yet, supported by loving friends and strengthened by "inner soldiers", Jenifer never stopped entertaining and creating.
We watch as Jenifer develops icon status stemming from a series of legendary screen roles as the sassy yet loveable mama or auntie. And we watch as her emotional disturbances, culminating in a breakdown while filming The Temptations movie, launch her on a continuing search for answers, love, and healing.
Written with no-holds-barred honesty, this gripping memoir is filled with insights gained through a unique life that offers a universal message: "Love yourself so that love will not be a stranger when it comes."
From her first taste of applause at five years old to landing on Broadway within 11 days of graduation and ultimately achieving success in movies, television, and global concert halls, Jenifer reveals her outrageous life story with lots of humor, a few regrets, and, most importantly, unbridled joy. Candid, warm, and wonderfully inspiring, The Mother of Black Hollywood intimately reveals the heart of a woman who lives life to the fullest.

Hey you guys, it’s Leslie. I’m excited to share my story with you. Now, I’m gonna be honest: Some of the details might be vague because a b*tch is fifty-five and she’s smoked a ton of weed. But while bits might be a touch hazy, I can promise you the underlying truth is REAL.

This Was Fantastic
Listening to Jenifer Lewis perform the hell out of this book definitely heightened the experience, but I can't stress enough how much I loved this book. It was hilarious and vulnerable and beautiful, and I would still recommend it if it was narrated by the. charismaless voice of a speak and spell or Rob Schneider.

Inspiring, Funny and candid about mental health
I could not stop listening to this audiobook. Just like her consistent amazing performances on and off screen, Lewis doesn't anything less while narrating her memoir. She captivates you with her story telling, making you laugh, cry or just feel relatable her experiences. Her in depth and openness about her Mental Health was just inspiring to hear.

Jenifer Lewis is amazing, per usual
I’ve read this book more than once. Something about Black Mama Lewis feels like sitting in my aunt’s sewing room, listening to her tell me stories . Dame Lewis shares some stuff that is scary telling a friend, let alone the world, and it makes it that much more relatable. I would recommend this book.
