In this heartfelt and hilarious episode of Taste of Grace, Dorka and Blanca sit down with the one and only Anjelah Johnson-Reyes—comedian, actress, and viral sensation behind the iconic Nail Salon and Bon Qui Qui skits. From her unexpected entry into comedy to becoming a household name while staying grounded in her faith, Anjelah shares the raw, funny, and deeply inspiring story of how God redirected her path in the most surprising ways.
She opens up about growing up in a funny family, taking a free joke-writing class at church, going viral before YouTube was even a thing, navigating Hollywood without formal training, and embracing motherhood after 40. Through it all, she reminds us that showing up with courage, trusting God’s timing, and being exactly who you are is the real secret to purpose and peace.
Whether you’re in a season of waiting, pivoting, or rediscovering your calling, this conversation is for you.
Key Themes:
- Discovering your gift without chasing the spotlight
- Letting go of timelines and embracing God's unexpected plans
- Comedy as a tool for healing, not just entertainment
- The shift from hustle to wholeness
- Encouragement for women navigating purpose later in life
Tune in and be reminded: You don't have to have it all figured out to walk in your calling—you just have to be willing to take the next step.
