Danielle Brooks: Black Motherhood and Raising the Bar

Danielle Brooks is a renaissance woman and one of our absolute favorite entertainers! Whether it’s her incredible performance as Taystee in Orange Is The New Black or her dynamite portrayal of Sofia in The Color Purple on Broadway, Danielle is making her presence felt as a leading lady. We sat down with her for an intimate discussion about her life since becoming a mother, how she’ll choose roles moving forward and what it took to portray the legendary Mahalia Jackson.
