  • 6. Medicine vs. Comedy - Being Available for God's Plan

    Today I had the honor of speaking with the amazingly talented and super funny Yvonne Orji, and it was truly awesome.

    Yvonne is a sitcom creator, comedian and actress (best known as Molly in the hit HBO series Insecure). She has also acted roles in "Love that Girl", "Jane the Virgin", "Flip the Script" and "Night School".

    She co-hosts the podcast "Jesus and Jollof" with Luvvie Ajayi. Additionally she is the creator of the FirstGen Show, a show that brings the first generation Nigerian-American story to a mainstream audience.

    Recently, Yvonne was a guest on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

    In spite of all her accolades, Yvonne is one of the most down to earth, humble people I have ever met.

    In today's episode we chat about faith, being available to God's plan and handling rejection.
