Charlamagne & Dascha Polanco: Latin Representation, 'OITNB' & Power of Unity | Emerging Hollywood

Dascha Polanco, 'Orange Is the New Black' and 'Russian Doll' star, joins Charlamagne tha God in episode 4 of 'Emerging Hollywood.' She talks about holding down a full time job while acting at the start of her career, how 'Orange Is the New Black' made her commit to acting full time, how diverse representation is pigeonholed to settings like prison in 'OITNB,' the new Central Park Five drama series 'When They See Us,' and more.

I know Dascha personally (although we weren't SUPER tight) and she's just as real, genuine and sweet as she presents herself. I respect her so much for being able to get herself where she is now. Constant love and support for her. Always.❤❤

[@MiguelPerez-iq6xw]

In chapter 2, her main question of does it hurt you. The answer is always yes, why? because people (even myself to a degree #notperfect) are quick to speak instead of listening. Were so caught in wanting to give a response rather than comprehend the other side.

[@lasetlivingstin7752]

I agree w/ most of what she says...

[@AirKangLocker]

[@SCOUT_THE-SERVANT]

I love what Dascha Polanco is saying and I like how she is. But one thing. Self love would mean to accept the natural gender you are born as.
