I love Yvonne and love “Insecure” even more。 This book was alright and had its moments, but as a whole, I just didn’t love it。 It was substantially based in biblical references which surprised me。 3 stars ⭐️。 Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy。
Ancillar,
A huge thanks to Worthy Publishing for my e-ARC in exchange for an honest review。 I did scream when I saw the email because wow who wouldn’t?If you are expecting a book about a very perfect never stumbled and never failed a class human then this isn’t it! In Bamboozled by Jesus Yvonne takes us through lessons from her life infused with Biblical principles and yes it’s not one of those long, boring books that make you snore wild awake。 The chapters are short (so perfect for me) and filled with wi A huge thanks to Worthy Publishing for my e-ARC in exchange for an honest review。 I did scream when I saw the email because wow who wouldn’t?If you are expecting a book about a very perfect never stumbled and never failed a class human then this isn’t it! In Bamboozled by Jesus Yvonne takes us through lessons from her life infused with Biblical principles and yes it’s not one of those long, boring books that make you snore wild awake。 The chapters are short (so perfect for me) and filled with wisdom and humor。 You will be laughing, crying, nodding your head and low-key feel like you are having a conversation with your friend (Yvonne)。 She honestly depicts her journey from where she started from and where she is。 Expect to be bamboozled on the detours she took from a child whose parents wanted her to be a doctor (get the book and call me out) to the well-traveled and respected comedian she is。 If you have been struggling to trust God’s process GET this book。 。。。more

This book is about countering imposter syndrome and striving for an incredible life, backed up by the knowledge that you were put on this earth to achieve your birthright of greatness。 Keep your head held high boo, you deserve nothing but the best。 Orji reminds us not to compromise on our career, home, and relationship ideals。 My favorite part of this book was being able to consume stories from the Bible in humorous ways that showed the relevance to our everyday lives - Orji tied in parables wit This book is about countering imposter syndrome and striving for an incredible life, backed up by the knowledge that you were put on this earth to achieve your birthright of greatness。 Keep your head held high boo, you deserve nothing but the best。 Orji reminds us not to compromise on our career, home, and relationship ideals。 My favorite part of this book was being able to consume stories from the Bible in humorous ways that showed the relevance to our everyday lives - Orji tied in parables with each of her life lessons。 I will definitely be carrying these lessons with me throughout my life。 I’m a huge fan of Yvonne Orji, whether it’s in her stand-up, or her role on the HBO series Insecure, so I jumped at the opportunity to review her new work! Her child of immigrants perspective in her comedy is of course relatable to me。 Watching her on Insecure for the last five years has been life changing - seeing a Black woman thriving in a high position in a corporate setting, and seeing a Black woman be loved, especially by Black men and other poc, has been so healthy for me。 Thank you to NetGalley for sending me the e-arc in exchange for an honest review! 。。。more
