Amongst those is the sultry Dominican born Dascha Polanco, who recently found herself cast in the critically-acclaimed film Joy, and the star laden film The Perfect Match.

The Brooklyn raised actress stops by The Breakfast Club to have a pow-wow with Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, and DJ Envy. During the interview the OITNB star delves into subjects such as Zoe Saldana playing Nina Simone, being a teenage mother, and her insecurities.
