The actress, best known for her role as Tasha “Taystee” Jefferson on Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black, recently shared two career goals with fans, writing, “Still waiting for my romantic movie… and my beauty ambassador deal… but I’ll be patient.” A Juilliard-trained performer, Brooks has built an impressive career since graduating from the prestigious school.
