This hilarious and thoughtful memoir from comedy legend Anjelah Johnson explores questions of identity, belonging, and her two dreams as a kid: to be an actress and to be a chola. You may know&nbsp;Anjelah Johnson for her viral sketch "Nail Salon" (over 100 million views globally) or&nbsp;her beloved ghetto-fabulous 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.&nbsp; With her razor-sharp wit,&nbsp;Anjelah recounts funny stories from her journey--from growing up caught between two worlds (do chips and salsa go with potato salad?) to unexpectedly embracing faith ("I love Jesus, but I will punch a 'ho") 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 travels&nbsp;the world, Anjelah&nbsp;has&nbsp;eye-opening&nbsp;experiences, and she morphs&nbsp;from square, rigid Anjelah into "Funjelah," and learns that she&nbsp;can still ride with Jesus without squashing the other parts of her&nbsp;personality. Anjelah's stories explore subjects such as navigating&nbsp;your&nbsp;racial identity,&nbsp;finding your place in the world, chasing your crazy dreams, embracing the messiness of an evolving&nbsp;faith, and&nbsp;searching for belonging and meaning.&nbsp;Through her journey, Anjelah&nbsp;gets closer to discovering her true identity and encourages readers&nbsp;to have&nbsp;the audacity to dream&nbsp;big.
