      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
