The repercussions of overturning Roe v. Wade have been devastating for many women. One of them is Amanda Zurawski, who nearly died after being refused life-saving healthcare.

Amanda shares her harrowing story with Sophia - one that should never have happened. Amanda was looking forward to being a new mom when the unthinkable happened: she suffered complications during her pregnancy. Doctors informed her that the baby wouldn't survive, but due to Texas' abortion ban, they were unable to terminate the pregnancy. Amanda went into septic shock twice before getting the care she desperately needed.

Now, she's fighting for reproductive rights so that other women will never have to endure the same trauma she did.

Uzo also talks about another impactful moment in her life, being on the verge of quitting acting, when she landed the role of Suzanne 'Crazy Eyes' on "Orange is the New Black."
