"You've got to save yourself! The Promised Land is wherever you are. Don't waste time wasting time!" Six years later, and these words from Jenifer Lewis still ring true. It seems fitting this week to take it back to 2018 (episode 145) when I first chatted with the LEGENDARY actress Jenifer Lewis as she shares her #dreamdriving journey and why nothing was going to kill her dream! Jenifer talks her struggles with mental illness, getting herself "unfrozen."/seeking help, writing her book The Mother of Black Hollywood, and the importance of self care. She also opens up about what being HAPPY means to her now and how we as dream drivers can find our own definitions of success despite what has happened to us.

In Jenifer's own words, "Love yourself so that love will not be a stranger when it comes." This episode is one for the books! One you have to share with a friend and tell them to keep paying forward! Thank you Jenifer for blessing us with your GEMS!
