However, beyond her life as an actress, Uzo appears to have a fun-filled personal life, which she often shows off on her social media pages.

According to Uzo, what she missed about the Netflix original series was the opportunity to run into people that you didn’t intend to.

According to Forbes, Virginia was a single mother who, in the early 2000s, campaigned for a bill to ensure that children of low-income families have the same access to schools of their choice as those of wealthier families.

The movie also starred Matthew Modine and Aunjanue Ellis and was directed by R.J. Daniel Hanna, who claimed that he knew Uzo was perfect for the role of the titular character when he read the script.
