Follow The Breadcrumbs with Comedian Anjelah Johnson-Reyes

The Kim Gravel Show

This week one of my favorite comedians, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, shares how she followed life’s breadcrumbs to turn her dreams into reality. First, Anjelah shares how her pursuit of an entertainment career began when she made the Oakland Raiders cheerleading squad. She continued to follow the breadcrumbs, leading her to a spot as an extra on the iconic show FRIENDS. An inspiring turning point came when, despite facing unemployment and financial struggles, she went viral with her now-famous nail salon video. Anjelah shows us how you can dream bigger than your reality and make it happen by following the breadcrumbs. Remember, your calling is always hiding in plain sight. You have the power to make your dreams a reality!

This is one of my favorite quotes from this week’s episode:

“In order to see the breadcrumbs that God has laid out before you, you have to be focused on your path. Not your friend next to you, not the girl to the right, not the girl you follow on Instagram, not that new TikTok account, not any of that.” – Anjelah Johnson Reyes

In this episode:

• How Anjelah’s entertainment career started
• What it was like to work on FRIENDS
• How one nail salon bit blew up Anjelah’s career
• Transforming your dreams into reality
• How to take a leap of faith in yourself
• Navigating life's breadcrumbs to success

Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, a California native, launched her career as an Oakland Raiders cheerleader before diving into stand-up comedy. Her "Nail Salon" routine went viral, leading to a stint on MADtv as her famous character, Bon Qui Qui. Anjelah signed a record deal, toured, and released a Christmas EP. She's also excelled in comedy with specials on Comedy Central and Netflix, starred in commercials, and appeared in TV shows and films. Anjelah resides in Los Angeles with her husband, musician Manwell Reyes, and continues her acting and comedy career with sold-out shows.
