00:03Any more greens up in here?
00:04Yo, I miss that creamed corn.
00:06Well, I give my left tip for a pina colada,
00:08but you don't see that on the menu, right?
00:15Well, she has a new haircut in season two.
00:20And it's been revealed in a lot of the clips
00:22that her son comes to visit, which was a major moment for me.
00:26I cried when I read it in the script, actually.
00:28I think that things are less hectic for Sophia in season two.
00:35There's less drama for her.
00:39And what's been really interesting is the role that she's,
00:42that we're seeing the salon take on in the prison.
00:46That is a place where the women are coming to get counsel
00:50in a weird way, even when they don't think they're getting
00:52counsel in addition to getting her hairstyle.
00:54So that's been interesting, watching those sort of scenes
00:56play out.
00:58Aside from the writers and the creators giving us liberty
01:02to find our own things, for Gloria,
01:05she was able to find her sanity and her stability
01:10with forming this family with her chicas.
01:13And then also with the religion.
01:16The religion aspect plays a big part in season two.
01:19And we touched on it a little bit, season one.
01:22But I love that it's been developed more into season two
01:25and that we're seeing her really bring it
01:27to the girls of Litchfield.
01:31Bravo, you know, for Gen.G and Netflix and Lionsgate
01:34for being so brave and saying we're going to put more
01:36than just one Latina.
01:38And for them to bring forth different types of Latinas.
01:41You know, you have Dominican, Mexican.
01:44You have Afro, Puerto Ricans.
01:47So that's never been done before.
01:50And hopefully Hollywood will start paying attention,
01:52that it works, that we come in different shades and colors
01:56and shapes and sizes and that we're Latinas, you know.
02:00And there's something beautiful about the differences
02:02as much as there is about the similarities.
02:04Hopefully the day will come where it'll just be about,
02:07you're an actress and you're good for this role,
02:09and that is what it is.
02:10I think that for Latinas in particular in the business,
02:13it's been a little bit tough.
02:15And we're lagging behind a little bit.
02:17And hopefully this will be a time for change.
02:21Over the past 61 years that we've been seeing
02:24trans representation in the media,
02:26it's been one or two stories told over and over and over again.
02:29So I think, yes, absolutely we need more trans stories.
02:33I think in terms of who's playing the part, it's tricky.
02:37Because as an actor, I would never suggest
02:39that actors, you know, shouldn't play something.
02:43And I want to be able to play a wide range of roles.
02:45What I would say is that as a trans woman
02:47who's playing this trans character,
02:49that it's been very powerful for the audiences
02:51that I've, you know, gotten to speak with,
02:53for trans people to be able to fully identify and connect,
02:58not only with the character,
02:59but with the person playing the character.
03:01And that for people who are not trans,
03:03they find themselves connecting and having empathy,
03:05not only for this character, but actually
03:07for a trans woman playing it.
03:08I believe that it's actually changed and shifted culture.
03:12I've witnessed people's ideas.
03:14Literally, I've gotten tweets and I've seen blogs
03:17and from folks who said their ideas about transgender people
03:21have changed because of this character.
03:23Trans folks have come out as trans
03:25and starting to transition because of this character.
03:29It is literally changing people's lives.
03:31And I don't know if that would be happening
03:35if a trans actor weren't playing the part.
03:39I've watched a lot of shows now on Netflix.
03:42Like I've been obsessed with The Walking Dead.
03:44Obsessed, I want to be a zombie.
03:46You'd be a great zombie.
03:48Oh my God.
03:49I'll do my own sound effects too.
03:51Yeah.
