Summary

In this episode Gaby chats to actress Diane Guerrero, famous for Netflix shows 'Orange is the New Black' and 'Jane the Virgin'. She is one of the stars of Disney’s new animation 'Encanto' which opens in cinemas November 24th 2021 and features incredible new songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Diane tells her story of being born in the United States to Colombian parents and when she was just 14 years old, she came home from school to find her parents weren’t there, they were being deported. Diane shares deeply personal stories of being a child of an immigrant family and what life was like growing up alone in America. She talks about her feelings of imposter syndrome and about seeing Meryl Streep at an awards ceremony but being too unconfident to talk to her. She talks excitedly about her upcoming wedding and reveals it may involve some singing! This is a very honest chat and at times heartbreaking, especially when Diane talks about her struggles and what she is trying to do to change people's out of date opinions.
