Wondery
About this episode

Have you ever gone somewhere new and just felt totally out of place? Well, today we’re talking about culture shock with actress and comedian Yvonne Orji. Yvonne shares some of the hilarious moments she experienced when she moved from Nigeria to D.C. at the age of six, the surprising similarities between the two countries, and the ridiculous assumptions we can’t believe people still have about Africa. We also spill what shocked us most after moving from Chicago to California, and Yvonne puts us on to a surprising new soul artist. Plus, we respond to listener voicemails where we give it to you straight about how celebrity PR relationships really go down. Aren’t you curious??
