Many of us have seen the comedy series ‘Orange Is The New black’ a comedy drama set to portray the everyday life of women in prison featuring talented actress like Laverne Cox, the first openly transgender actress, Natasha Lyonne and Uzoamaka Nwaneka Aduba, American born actress of Nigerian ancestry.
