The Mother of Black Hollywood: A Memoir by Jenifer Lewis

4.0

The Mother of Black Hollywood details the life of Jenifer Lewis. Born into poverty in Kinloch, Missouri, Jenifer tells a striking tale of her start in entertainment and the rise to stardom. It is a no-holds barrel memoir and Jenifer does not skimp on the details. From her sex-addiction and living with bipolar disorder to creating drama on sets and the AIDS crisis of the 80’s, it is a roller coaster of life experiences that sounds like a made-for-tv movie. Jenifer is over the top and a force to the reckoned with, but don’t take my words for it – she said so herself!

I would HIGHLY recommend listening to the audio book. Jenifer is a fantastic story teller with strong emotional delivery. She is an entertainer for a reason.
