Yvonne Orji talks DMX, destiny and faith

Dreams fuel our existence. They give us the ability to envision ourselves in better careers, living in better homes, driving better cars and having the opportunity to provide our families with more than we had, even more than they actually need. But what happens when a dream is just a dream? When a person talks about doing something but never takes any steps toward turning any of those dreams into reality? Stand-up comic and actress Yvonne Orji identified people with that mentality as extremely dangerous and explain how urgent it is for us to stay away from them on the recent episode of "Salon Talks."

Yvonne Orji is most known for her HBO comedy special "Momma, I Made It!" in addition to playing Issa Rae's stylish, hyper ambitious best friend Molly on the hit HBO show "Insecure." Orji's betrayal of Molly earned her an Emmy nomination, which was just a part of God's plan and one of the many dreams she checked off her long list and wrote about in her bestselling memoir "Bamboozled by Jesus."
