Seeing these new pictures, it is easy to remember when the star gave birth to her daughter in November last year through an emergency Cesarean section after planning to have her through natural birth.
In a recent interview, Brooks opened up about the whole affair. She revealed that her delivery actually started smooth, up until her doctors decided that she needed to have the c-section.
She is to play the character of Leota Adebayo, but details about the nature of her role are yet to be disclosed.
This was because Freeya had meconium in her system. So the next thing the actress knew, she was surrounded by ten doctors who soon put on an oxygen mask for her and hooked her to an IV.
She added that she soon started praying and singing gospel songs. She then informed her medical team that she wanted to be kept in the loop of things as it would help her nerves during the whole procedure.
However, with her fiancé Dennis Gelin and her doula by her side, Brooks eventually had a safe, healthy, and uncomplicated delivery. Now one year later, the bundle of joy is doing better than ever.
Besides being a devoted hands-on mother, the star has also made a name for herself in the Hollywood industry. She is most especially known for her role in the Netflix series "Orange Is The New Black."
Moreover, she is set to feature opposite John Cena in the HBO Max series "Peacemaker," which is a spinoff of the "Suicide Squad" movie.
She is to play the character of Leota Adebayo, but details about the nature of her role are yet to be disclosed. Brooks has also voiced over for several Disney Channel characters over the years.
In 2015, she made her Broadway debut with "The Color Purple," of which she received wide acclaim. With such a fast-growing list of accomplishments, one can only wonder what else the star has in store.
