Interspersed with vibrant, personal footage shot in Nigeria, Yvonne's native home, during a milestone trip in early January, YVONNE ORJI: MOMMA, I MADE IT! takes an intimate, hilarious look at what being Nigerian-American means to Yvonne -- from her international haggling addiction and having her phone tapped by her parents as a kid, to the fine line between cursing people out and putting curses on them. The special was filmed before a live audience at the Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C.

Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture It is a testament to how well the comedy works and how effective it is at being hilarious while also introducing voices and ideas that will be new to some of Orji's viewers. The documentary footage is unnecessary; Orji can say plenty on her own. Jun 5, 2020 Full Review Ashley Ray-Harris AV Club It's a comedy special that will certainly gain her fans and proves to Hollywood she's more than ready to take the lead in a romantic comedy or whatever she chooses to do with her career beyond Insecure. Rated: B+ Jun 5, 2020 Full Review Khadjiah Johnson Black Nerd Problems Momma I Made It is a fun and truthful look at culture and how our experiences have created a hard working generation that is consistently learning how to dissect their tribulations. Jun 22, 2020 Full Review Sean L. McCarthy Decider Orji doesn't have to worry about anyone being disappointed in her or her career path. Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
