Work in Progress: Uzo Aduba

Uzo Aduba is a force on the big screen, small screen — and the stage! Now, she is crossing off one more accomplishment from her list: author.

The Emmy award-winning actress opens up to Sophia about her new memoir, "The Road Is Good: How a Mother's Strength Became a Daughter's Purpose.” Uzo shares her coming-of-age story growing up Nigerian-American in a predominately white suburb, her journey to becoming an actor, and the profound life lessons she learned from her mother that helped shape who she is today as an actress, advocate, and a mother herself.

Plus, both women reflect on the emotional impact of attending the DNC (lots of tears were shed). Uzo also talks about another impactful moment in her life, being on the verge of quitting acting, when she landed the role of Suzanne 'Crazy Eyes' on "Orange is the New Black." She reveals how she prepared for the role, how it changed her life, and the one actress who knew it would be a hit from the start!
