“It’s just been a really interesting experience,” Lewis said. “I’m always grateful,” she says. “I have an incredible life, and even when things are feeling upside down, I still remember to be grateful.”
Lewis is due to have her second child with her husband, J. Mallory McCree, later this summer, adding to her 3-year-old daughter, Brooklyn.
“We weren’t trying, but we weren’t prohibiting. It was an expected unexpected blessing,” she says. “Even before I had my daughter, I tried twice to have a baby and had a very early miscarriage. I practice meditation, and in my meditation, I heard the message, There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s just not time. I chose to believe that. And nine months after I heard that message, I booked Snowfall. I was like, ‘Yo, that’s crazy!’ And then it was three years after that I ended up being pregnant with my daughter.”

“I’m really excited, as the baby is growing and making its presence known, to see how your heart and your life can make space for this new being,” Lewis added. “That, to me, just blows my mind every time.”
“I think the pregnancy mitigates the fear. I feel very mixed about the closing of the Snowfall chapter,” she continued. “I’m happy to be moving on and excited about all the things that are coming for myself and for my other cast mates and crew. I think we all have very bright futures. But I’m sad to say goodbye.”
“It will never be this thing again,” she concluded. “I might run into people; I might work with some people, but never all of us at one time. That knowing is really sad. And then you go back into the unknown.”
Congratulations, we wish you luck on this next chapter.
