Yvonne Orji tells Salon about the paperback release of her book "Bamboozled by Jesus." The actor and comedian shares how she approached writing the book, the life lessons she learned about being successful in Hollywood and her hopes for the strike. Orji also discusses the projects she wants to continue putting out into the world — once the strike ends. "I think there's so many stories to be told," she said. "Not only of the immigrant experience, the Black experience, the international experience. It's like, the Nigerian-British experience is different than the Nigerian-American experience, the Caribbean experience, the Haitian experience, the Brooklyn experience. We always say Black is not a monolith, but I'm like, but yes, let's see more of these stories that present us not monolithically."
