Whistling in the Dark

The Orange Is the New Black star and I meet up in NYC to dish on the show including how it has made her a better mother, her relationship with the fans, and why behind the scenes friction can lend itself to great on-screen chemistry. We bond on everything from the lost art of alone time, road rage, Rebel Bingo (don’t ask) and how my losing the option to the OITNB book 5 years ago was a good thing for everyone involved. The Netflix star gives me insight into why Hispanic culture is actually divided and falling victim Dascha Polancoto destructive infighting, and how she is creating her own modern Latina ethos by combining her mother’s Dominican traditions with the new ones she is creating with her own daughter.
