Overview
This hilarious and thoughtful memoir from comedy legend Anjelah Johnson-Reyes explores questions of identity, belonging, and her two dreams as a kid: to be an actress and to be a chola.
You may knowĀ Anjelah Johnson-Reyes for her viral sketch "Nail Salon" (over 100 million views globally) orĀ her beloved MadTV character Bon Qui Qui, but it's her clean humor and hilarious storytelling that make her one of the most successful stand-up comedians and actresses today.ĀWith her razor-sharp wit,Ā Anjelah recounts funny stories from her journeyāfrom growing up caught between two worlds (do chips and salsa go with potato salad?) to unexpectedly embracing faith (āI love Jesus, but I will punch a āhoā) to her many adventures in dating (she may or may not have accepted dates simply for the food). Through it all, Anjelah transforms from a suburban-adjacent kid with Aquanet-drenched hair into a devoted Christian who abstains from drinking and premarital sex, into a mall-famous Oakland Raiders cheerleader, and then an actually famous comedian traveling the world and meeting people from all-walks of life, including Oprah. No biggie. (Huge biggie.) As she travelsĀ the world, AnjelahĀ hasĀ eye-openingĀ experiences, and she morphsĀ from square, rigid Anjelah into āFunjelah,ā and learns that sheĀ can still ride with Jesus without squashing the other parts of herĀ personality.
Anjelah's stories explore subjects such as navigatingĀ yourĀ racial identity,Ā finding your place in the world, chasing your crazy dreams, embracing the messiness of an evolvingĀ faith, andĀ searching for belonging and meaning.Ā Through her journey, AnjelahĀ gets closer to discovering her true identity and encourages readersĀ to haveĀ the audacity to dreamĀ big.
