Actress Samira Wiley - who played fan-favourite Poussey Washington in ‘Orange Is The New Black’ - says playing queer characters changed her life “I think that Orange [is the New Black] definitely made me more comfortable with myself, made me see that it’s OK to be me. It has taught me so many things and being comfortable in my skin is one of them,” she told Queerty. Wiley has also recently said she doesn’t want to be typecast: "I don't always want to play gay characters." #television #OITNB #Queer #SamiraWiley #lgbtqia #representation
