The mighty and great grand dame Jenifer Lewis—actress, activist, author, and the self‑proclaimed Black Mother of Hollywood—joins Michelle Obama for one of the most raw, powerful conversations of her career.
Lewis sits down on the IMO podcast to talk unfiltered about life, resilience, creativity, and the battles she’s fought both on and off screen.
Lewis recently released her memoir Walking in My Joy: In These Streets in paperback, following her acclaimed The Mother of Black Hollywood. She’s also fresh off her role in Disney’s The Princess and the Frog live‑action adaptation, and continues to advocate for mental health awareness. Michelle Obama’s IMO podcast, launched in 2025, has already featured guests like Oprah Winfrey and Kerry Washington, making Lewis’ episode a standout.
