Episode 4: Diane Guerrero on Grief, Growth & Giving Herself Permission

Explicit

You’ve seen her light up the screen in Orange Is the New Black, Encanto, and Jane the Virgin - but behind the smile, Diane Guerrero has lived a story of survival, silence, and stunning transformation.

In this episode, Diane opens up to Akbar about losing her parents to deportation, growing up alone, and learning to rewrite her own narrative. From her first acting class (thanks to a crew of nightlife guardian angels) to finding purpose through storytelling, Diane gets real about what it means to reclaim safety, joy, and identity on your own terms.
