Your Best Life with Anna Victoria

Dascha Polanco is the actress you know for portraying Dayanara "Daya" Diaz on the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. But she's also an artist, podcast host, and songwriter who’s appeared in multiple films and series. Her podcast, for Netflix, is called Con Todo: Brown Love, where she talks to LatinX creators in Hollywood.

This episode was recorded before the protests for equality, but Dascha discusses her experience as a woman of color in Hollywood. She talks about gender bias and how sometimes she doesn't feel like she is given the same freedom to express herself because of her minority status. She and Anna also talk about financial freedom and fitness as well.
