“The thing about black women and black hair is that you just have to ex...” — Yvonne Orji Quote

The thing about black women and black hair is that you just have to experiment.

To not have the wherewithal to give fully to a relationship bothered me.

There's random people calling my phone: 'Your mother gave me your number.' My mother has tried to set me up so many times long-distance.

I've been fortunate that the men I surround myself with in the comedy world are really decent people: men who are very aware, who are very respectful, and understand their place and maybe even some of their privilege.

I have immigrant, African parents. They would say, in their Nigerian accents, 'So you want to be a jester?' And I was like, 'I don't want to be a court jester, Ma. I want to be a comedian.'

I can experiment, I can be honest, and honestly, musically, I can't be touched.

I don't like it when filmmakers say, 'Just come like this, sir.' I like to experiment with my makeup. I wish more filmmakers let me do that.

I want to give fans what's expected of me and once I've made my mark, I can experiment and do the kind of films I'd like to do.

I am a versatile actor and ready to experiment.

The only medium where people are truly exploring themselves and going out to experiment is the digital space.
