Summary of Yvonne Orji's Bamboozled By Jesus

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was expected to be the good Nigerian girl, which meant making straight A’s, going to church, and learning to cook. I was also expected to graduate from college and head to med school by the age of 28.

#2 I tried to be a doctor, but I hated organic chemistry. I knew it wasn’t for me, and I had to find another way to take care of my parents. I was determined to get into the Early Acceptance Program at GWU, but I was rejected.

#3 I loved reading, and I knew that I wanted to be a writer or an actor, but I didn’t know that those were actual professions. I was deathly afraid of disappointing my parents, so I stalled and eventually moved to a war-torn country rather than admit that I no longer wanted to be the one thing they wanted me to be.

#4 I left my job in Maryland and went to live in Liberia, where I was safe from the recession. When I returned to Maryland, I found that no one had a job. The recession was the best thing that ever happened to me. I began giving God many uncertain yeses in exchange for achieving several improbable dreams.
