Danielle Brooks’ Teary Reaction to 10th Anniversary of OITNB

“She has not seen me perform live, but she has seen me in cartoons,” the Broadway star shared. “I play the mom in Karma’s World, so she’s always like, ‘Mommy! Mommy!’ and she’ll point to the TV, then point to me.”

Danielle continued, “I think that’s really the coolest thing ever, especially the conversations they’re having on the show about embracing your hair or your skin, I just really like that I can have those natural conversations and she hears it through my voice.”

You can hear Danielle Brooks in Karma’s World, streaming on Netflix.
