Diane Guerrero (Orange Is the New Black, Jane the Virgin, Superior Donuts) is multi-layered and super impressive. She has a MAJOR story. Her parents emigrated to the US from Colombia before she was born and when she was 14, they were deported.
I won't tell you the whole story; Diane will.
Her experiences led her to be an impactful activist for immigrant rights and social equality.
We talk about all of it.
Join us to hear about:
- Her childhood
- Fear, insecurity, anxiety and truth
- The LatinX experience in the US
- Immigration reform
- Social justice
- Black Lives Matter
- What "defund the police" REALLY means
- Up + down experiences as an actor
- Playing Maritza on Orange Is the New Black
- Playing Lina on Jane the Virgin
- Playing Jane on Doom Patrol (watch it on HBO Max)
- A private joke with Joivan Wade
- Will Smith, Michelle Obama, John Leguizamo
- SO MUCH
