In "My Life as a Goddess," Guy Branum transforms his journey of self-discovery into a treasure trove of wit and wisdom, presenting a series of essays that are as humorously incisive as they are heartwarmingly candid. With a narrative as dazzling as it is profound, Branum invites readers into the inner sanctum of his life, from his early days as a misunderstood boy in a stifling farm town to his ascension as a luminary in the comedy world. Through tales that span the gamut—from his love affair with Greek mythology to the trials of being pigeonholed as the "Sassy Gay Friend"—Branum crafts a mosaic of experiences that resonate with anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider. Branum’s prose is a masterclass in the art of storytelling, blending sharp commentary with laugh-out-loud humor to illuminate the path toward self-acceptance. "My Life as a Goddess" is not merely an autobiographical account; it is a manifesto of embracing one’s quirks and queerness. Guy confronts societal norms with both a fierce intellect and a fabulous sense of fun, proving that life is richer and more rewarding when we dare to be different. This book is a beacon for the beleaguered, offering laughs, lessons, and a hefty dose of liberation. In sharing his story, Branum becomes not just a goddess but a guide for anyone searching for their place in the pantheon of their own life’s story.

A very very good book. - Glen Weldon
I’m not supposed to like myself, and I’m certainly not supposed to think that I should matter. The world has spent a lot of time telling me that, and in the past thirty or so years, I often listened, because we all listen. The world is mostly full of fine facts and good lessons, but some of those facts and lessons were built to keep you down.
— Guy Branum, My Life as a Goddess
