Yvonne Orji is serious about living her life to please God. The Insecure star recently shared with PEOPLE magazine that she is a dedicated Christian who plans on staying a virgin until marriage.
“I’m open, because why not?” she tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “I’m grounded in who I am.”
She adds, “Before any of [the fame] happened, I sat down with myself and with God and thought, when I make it, how do you want me to represent you while I’m here?” The Inseucre star says she answered her own question: “It was like, OK, I know why I’m here. It’s to make you proud.”
Yvonne Orji would rather answer peoples’ questions about her decision to stay a virgin vs. everyone creating their own ideas about it.
“People ask about it because they’re curious, or they may not understand,” she says. “How will they ever get understanding if I don’t talk about it? I can inform your curiosity, as opposed to everyone being in the dark and just sort of creating their own narrative about it.”
