Orange Is the New Black isn’t just a wildly entertaining series—it’s also a means for raising awareness about a breadth of issues, ranging from ageism to sexism to homophobia. Stars Lorraine Toussaint, who plays the villainous Vee, and Michael Harney, who stars as the compassionate Sam Healy, are both keenly aware of the impact the show has had on society and feel extremely grateful to be apart of such an important series.
