Uzo Aduba: Mental Health of My Orange is the New Black Character, the Moment I Knew God is Real, & My Struggles with Being Seen

Uzo Aduba Reveals the Story Behind "Crazy Eyes" on ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK: Faith, Resilience, and Identity

PLUS

The SHOCKING moment she experienced Supernatural Proof that GOD IS REAL!

Dive into the incredible journey of a unique & talented artist who balanced the high expectations of her family and culture with her passion for art....AND hear the jaw-dropping story of how she quit acting JUST BEFORE landing her iconic breakout role in ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK.

Uzo discusses her fascinating approach to portraying Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren (many people's favorite character on OITNB!) who struggled with mental health challenges, what it was like to break barriers in the early days of Netflix, and why she believes we should never reduce people to their past mistakes.

She explains why she still grapples with feeling seen, how the entertainment industry gave her the confidence to be herself, and the negative consequences of not following her intuition. Uzo also details what it was like to grow up in the only Nigerian family in her New England town, navigating the struggles of everyday microaggressions and the heavy burden of being the “model minority.”

With gripping tales of resilience through her mom’s cancer battle and the profound grief that followed, this is a story of faith, courage, and finding your true self.
