Insecure star YvonneOrji on going home to Nigeria in comedy special 'Momma, I Made It!'
With a mix of jokes about her parents’ view on her choosing comedy over medicine, what dating in the present is like, Americans’ love of standing in lines, and more, she's here to raise our spirits for an hour of joy.
I understand the people are angry [right now] and rightfully so. My hope is that if they need 60 minutes of levity or healing through humor, they the special can be that thing to get their mind off, for a minute, all the devastation that is happening in our world, and in our country. People are hurting, and we hope the special can bring some healing in the form of humor.
I've always wanted to show my appreciation for my two homes. I wanted to show the beauty of Nigeria and the beauty of America.The time spent in Lagos is about more than your family, you bring us into the community with on-the-street segments and incorporate other African creatives. Why was that important for you to include?
Do you feel excited about being an African creative at this moment? Where would you like to see it go from here? How meaningful are female friendships to you, and what do you think about the stories out there about them?
