As one of Hollywood’s leading Latina actresses, Dascha Polanco is an independent, driven, mother of two who migrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic at an early age. Having gained national acclaim for her breakout role as “Dayanara Diaz” on the seven-season hit Netflix original series, “Orange is the New Black,” she’s shifting gears in 2021 and starring in the highly anticipated film adaption of the famed musical “In The Heights” by Lin-Manuel Miranda and directed by Jon M. Chu of “Crazy Rich Asians” fame. In addition, Polanco will also captivate audiences as the female lead alongside Sylvester Stallone in ‘Samaritan,” set to release in theaters in 2021. Currently, Polanco is the lead host of Netflix’s new weekly Latinx podcast, “Con Todo: Brown Love,” which celebrates the multi-faceted US Latinx experience of some of Netflix’s rising stars and their life stories in Hollywood.
