Ep. 166 – Warning: Chef Ron Jeremy's Ambrosia Salad May Contain Nut w/ Comedian Imani

Growing Up Christian

This week we’re joined by an absolutely hilarious comedian, Imani (interview begins at 33:30)! Imani spent her early years in Fort Hood, TX, where her family attended what you might classify as a typical Evangelical mega church. However, when they moved back to Oregon and joined here grandfather’s more traditional, conservative, predominantly-black church, her home life took a drastic turn that no one could have predicted (I’ll leave it at that so as not to spoil the story)… We were really excited to talk to Imani after sharing so many of her comedy clips back and forth! Follow her on Instagram & YouTube (@imanidenae_), TikTok & X (@_wierdhoe), and if you’re in the Portland area, keep an eye out for upcoming dates!

But first, Casey and April Gloria (@_aprilgloria) take a second look at the Game Genie of all dating books: “Marriable: Taking the Desperate Out of Dating” by Hayley and Michael DiMarco. We’re focusing in on a chapter titled “Nice Guys Really Do Finish Last” in which Hayley and Michael give us the nuanced explanation of male and female psyches we’ve all been waiting for. You’re going to want to take notes…
