Who Do I Think I Am
$27.00
This hilarious and thoughtful memoir from comedy legend Anjelah Johnson explores questions of identity, belonging, and her two dreams as a kid: to be an actress and to be a chola.
You may know Anjelah Johnson for her viral sketch “Nail Salon” (over 100 million views globally) or her beloved ghetto-fabulous MadTV character Bon Qui Qui, but it’s her clean humor and hilarious storytelling that make her one of the most successful stand-up comedians and actresses today.
With her razor-sharp wit, Anjelah recounts funny stories from her journey–from growing up caught between two worlds (do chips and salsa go with potato salad?) to unexpectedly embracing faith (“I love Jesus, but I will punch a ‘ho”) to her many adventures in dating (she may or may not have accepted dates simply for the food). Through it all, Anjelah transforms from a suburban-adjacent kid with Aquanet-drenched hair into a devoted Christian who abstains from drinking and premarital sex, into a mall-famous Oakland Raiders cheerleader, and then an actually famous comedian traveling the world and meeting people from all-walks of life, including Oprah. No biggie. (Huge biggie.) As she travels the world, Anjelah has eye-opening experiences, and she morphs from square, rigid Anjelah into “Funjelah,” and learns that she can still ride with Jesus without squashing the other parts of her personality.
Anjelah’s stories explore subjects such as navigating your racial identity, finding your place in the world, chasing your crazy dreams, embracing the messiness of an evolving faith, and searching for belonging and meaning. Through her journey, Anjelah gets closer to discovering her true identity and encourages readers to have the audacity to dream big.

America A Redemption Story
$28.99Add to cartAmerica is at a crossroads, reckoning with contested narratives about its history and identity, and facing unprecedented division. Bestselling author Senator Tim Scott shares a renewed vision for the United States–and invites all Americans to find themselves within this nation’s redemptive story of opportunity, unity, and hope.
Senator Scott knows what it’s like to live at the intersection of hardship and opportunity. From his roots in South Carolina, growing up in a poor, single-parent household to starting a successful small business to his rising political career in the Senate, Scott’s message of hope for America grows from his own life–the challenges, the achievements, and the work he’s currently doing to bring positive change to the people of the United States.
In America, a Redemption Story, Scott invites readers on a compelling journey to reclaim the American dream today. Weaving together deeply personal memoirs, stories of his family’s struggle with poverty and injustice, and stirring accounts of fellow Americans past and present, Scott says we can see the truth of America’s identity in the stories of individuals–people whose lives embody the hope and resilience that have carried the nation through its greatest failures and challenges. Readers will
*be inspired by the stories of personal grit and everyday heroism that reveal the power of a single individual to create positive change–for themselves, their communities, and their nation;
*gain an insider’s view through Senator Scott’s stories from his political career, including his relationship with President Donald Trump and the breaching of the Capitol on January 6, 2021;
*and learn why principles of personal responsibility, opportunity for all, and unity based on empathy provide the greatest hope for our nation’s future.
At once a clear-eyed reckoning with America’s past and present failures, an ode to its exceptional accomplishments, and a vision of the greatness it can still achieve, this book is Scott’s call to all Americans to see themselves as inheritors–and fellow authors–of a story still being written.
