I am beyond ecstatic that my two of my favorite TV shows are colliding: HBO’s Girls and Netflik’s Orange Is The New Black. 

Danielle Brooks who plays inmate Taystee on the hit series Orange Is The New Black revealed that she is making TV history with yet another hit show; Lena Dunham and Judd Apatow’s love child Girls. 

In a recent interview with Ebony, the Juilliard graduate said, “Of course you’re going to get to see a lot of Taystee in season two and I just shot an episode of ‘Girls’ for HBO. I will be the first Black woman to be on ‘Girls,’ so that’s exciting for me. Other than that I just don’t know. I’m hoping Melissa McCarthy will hit a sister up.”
