Walking in My Joy: In These Streets

Jenifer Lewis’ second book, Walking in My Joy in These Streets, is an absolute gem! I laughed out loud at her wit and cried with recognition as she candidly shared her journey of discovering she was bipolar. Her fierce advocacy for mental health awareness and encouraging those facing challenges to seek help and take their meds if needed is both inspiring and comforting. Jenifer’s boldness, humor, and unapologetic honesty shine through every page. This book is not just a memoir but a rallying cry for self-love and mental health. A must-read!

I listened to a podcast Jenifer Lewis was on and found out about her books. I decided to start with this one and could not put it down! I love her honesty, details and comedic twist in this book. Looking forward to reading more of her books

This book was amazing & hilarious. It’s a must read. I truly enjoyed this book. Great piece of reading Jenny.

Hilarious at times, heartbreaking at times, always witty and warm and full of loveliness. The Audible version is narrated by the author, who has a gorgeous voice. It also includes her singing, laughing, cursing, whispering, laughing - it is super entertaining. In the afterword, she offers us all a 10-second hug and you almost do feel it. An amazing lady with adventures that will have you on the edge of your chair, or about to fall off from laughing. When you get to the 10-foot tall Maasai warrior armed with a flashlight, you will know what I mean. Do not miss this book.

This woman is Incredible. Brilliant and hilarious.

Well I bought this book by accident looking for another book she had written. However, this book did not disappoint. I had moments of emotional stances and moments of mental visions that made me feel like I was in the room as she experienced the moment in time. I would recommend this book if you want to take a journey and see her life through her words. Just make sure you use her voice as you read this book in your head because that makes this book really worth the read.

What a GREAT book!

This is a great read! Never a dull moment! Jennifer shares her inner most thoughts and feelings which can be beautiful or not, just like life. You must read this book! Her frank discussions about her personal struggles with life's challenges, personal relationships, and her mental health leaves you wondering about your own struggles and wanting to pursue your own healing wherever its needed! Bravo Jenifer!!

Best story teller in these streets. Love this book of hers too. I’ve read “Mother of Black Hollywood”, was fortunate enough to see her live at a book signing in LA.

Love this book 👍🏾
