Prolific actress and activist Jenifer Lewis graces the cover of the print campaign. In her interview, she shares her experiences coming up in Hollywood, fighting against bipolar disorder and depression with her passion for showbiz, and becoming "the Mother of Black Hollywood"
"When I walked into a room to audition, I knew they needed the triple threat," says Lewis. "That grandiosity came from my bipolar disorder, the mania that comes with that. I was a locomotive with talent! I used to say it out loud: 'Not even me can stop me.'" Although initially afraid that treatment for her bipolar disorder would take away her star power, Lewis has now been in treatment for 20 years and advocates for those suffering from mental health issues. "If you need help getting out of bed…call on the ancestors. Call on me. You just have to get up."
This campaign was made possible with the support of Color of Change, the American Heart Association, ZERO: the End of Prostate Cancer, MYAVANA, the Los Angeles Film School, Jenifer Lewis, Loni Love, Jaida Essence Hall, DeRay McKesson, Ernie Hudson, Jamal Sims, Victor J. Glover, Raye Boyce, Martha Wash, Mel D. Cole, and more.
