Whenever I bring up Netflix’s Emmy-nominated hit series “Orange is the New Black,” everyone ecstatically responds with, “OMG, ‘Orange is the New Black’ is the best show ever. I’m obsessed!” And at the mention of Poussey, I am met with: “She is my FAVORITE character! I love her so much!” 

It’s hard not to fangirl over the sassy Poussey with her tough, buzz-cut exterior and soft-hearted interior, so when I was assigned to interview the actor behind the character, I had high expectations - Samira Wiley did not disappoint.
