PARIAH Adepero Oduye's Cool VIBE

At VIBE, GangStarr Girl spoke with the charming star of PARIAH Adepero Oduye about her life the life of her character in Dee Rees poetic coming-of-age tale. Just like her character, Oduye has been some hard decisions in her life about who she really is and what she wants from life. Oduye explains:

My father passed away my junior year and it was a wake up call. He was young and it forced me to ask myself what I really wanted to do with my life. I was doing this whole medicine thing for my father and I asked myself what I really wanted to do and it kind of hit me so I took an acting class my senior year and I loved it.
