Is You Okay? Audiobook Summary

A fun, inspiring memoir from “the Queen of YouTube” about her journey from anonymity in Florida to massive popularity on the Internet, filled with the unlikeliest of stories that are as poignant as they are hilarious

“Is you okay? Is you good? Cuz I want to know!”

Eager to entertain, dedicated to making people laugh, comedian and video superstar GloZell Green is game for any challenge, no matter how silly, gross, or absurd. Her crazy video stunts have propelled her into the ranks of legendary funny ladies such as Ellen DeGeneres, Whoopi Goldberg, Tina Fey, Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, and Phyllis Diller–and made her an inspiring icon for a new generation. With this funny and liberating book, GloZell uses the stories from her winding journey to unbelievable success to help her fans and young women everywhere navigate the obstacles we all face in life, while helping them find the greatness unique to each of them, inside and out.

Is You Okay? speaks truth about the elements of life we wrestle with every day–empowerment, love, body image, school, work, family, relationships, failure, success. GloZell introduces some of her most outlandish, funny, and unforgettable video challenges and uses each to explore a serious yet common hurdle. Sharing formative stories and insights from her own life, she encourages young women to learn to love their body, break free of their shell, and carve out their own identity.

Making the connection between hilarious physical challenges and meaningful personal challenges, GloZell shows that we’re all in this together. “Everything isn’t just gonna be okay. It doesn’t just have to be good,” she reminds us. “It can be great (even with a spoonful of pepper in your mouth).”

GloZell has a funny an inspirational message and it is that she is more than OK! I think that her basic message is to be yourself, no matter what, and to know yourself. Don't just think it, do it. Find a way!!! Don't let others stand in your way, and especially do not stand in your own way. Her book is so funny, very inspirational just like her and chatty just like her, and I can hear her, as she speaks to her readers directly! I have always loved watching her comedy videos on YouTube. That is where I know her best. She has kick ass comedic timing, and her one video of eating a spoon of cinnamon is still, her best!!! For a fun time, read, then go subscribe to her for lots of laughs in your future!!!

LOVE HER! Seriously, Glozell is an inspiring woman. She's silly and ridiculous online, yes, but she is also a real person, a beautiful person, a strong person. Someone who is worth knowing. Someone I wish I could know. Besides, Green is my favorite color.

Before reading this book I had only seen some few videos from Glozell, not really a fan but I do recognize her magnetic personality. Reading her book was all sorts of new for me, since I don't tend to read biographies, even less "youtuber's books" but there was something about Glozell and the cover that just called me. I don't regret it in the least. The book is interesting, funny and has a very good message for people struggling with being "different", it might not be the greatest self-help book there is but for me it felt sincere, fun and authentic, with some good advice. Her story might not be unique, her life-path or decisions might not be outstanding, but her way of approaching life and her analysis of it, though simple, can hep you feel not-so-alone when dealing with some of life's situations. It made me smile more than once and I enjoyed it all the way through. Good, short and simple.

A funny book on the life and rise of an unconventional YouTube star. GlowZell Green is may be older than most of her legion of YouTube followers but her ability to impart humor to a variety of people is timeless. Green's book is witty, insightful and honest as she shares stories of her childhood in Florida as well as her personal struggles with finding a career and fertility. I listened to the audiobook version of the book and recommend this as the best way to experience her book since she reads her own words and her genuine larger than life personality really shines through.

I absolutely loved this book! Glozell Green is one of my favorite entertainers so when I heard she was coming out with a book I could not wait to read it. I don't normally read biographies but after reading this I will definitely start trying out more of them. This autobiography not only takes us through Glozell's life and her struggles as an aspiring comedian but also gives advice to people hoping to succeed in the industry and in life in general. I would recommend this to young adults because the book talks so much about career paths and this would apply more to people of that age. Overall I thought this book was great and I hope Glozell will write more in the future.

I get an immense amount of joy watching GloZell on youtube, she's fun and funny and really open about how she feels and what she's thinking. I actually found this memoir for my friend, she wanted to get into more nonfiction books and I felt this would have been a nice entrance into the nonfiction side of things. GloZell starts each chapter with a question she's been asked before, her answer, and then a story about something that happened in her life, what mistakes she made, and how she came out on the other side of things. It's motivating, it's honest, but it's still really funny and entertaining and you're gunna have a great time. She talks about the mistakes she's made and the hardships she's endured, but I've never felt drained reading her story [if that makes sense]. I've never felt like I had to put the book down and compose myself to keep reading, I emphasized with her struggles, with her sorrows, with her sense of being lost, but I was never overwhelmed by it [which can happen in memoirs, and regular books, so I was really happy that it wasn't happening here]. GloZell wants you to learn from her mistakes, she wants to show you the way [as best she can] so that it's easier for you to get out there and get a head start, she wants you to be the very best you that you could ever be. And I love her for it, and I love that that's her whole message to the world.Is you ok? Cause she really wants to know.

I didn't know I needed this book as much as I need to drink more water everyday. They way Glozell effortlessly tells her story and her truth had me smiling, laughing, and crying! The emotional roller coaster she takes you on is personal, deep, but authentic. She lets you into her life from the time she was a young girl to 2016 when the book was published. She has left me wanting to fight for my dreams, fight for the life I want to live, and to have faith. Like she says "Life doesn't have to just be okay. I promise, it can be great".

I thought Glozell's book was very authentic to her persona on YouTube. She was one of the first content creators of color that I subscribed to.The gist of the book is that she and her peers were steadily trying to learn how to fit in for most of their lives. She eventually realized that it is okay for her (and you) to learn how to stand out.
