Orange Is the New Black released its seventh and final season on Netflix in July. Brooks portrayed Tasha Taystee Jefferson in the series, which premiered in the summer of 2013.

In September, Brooks announced her role in a new social series with Netflix Family called A Little Bit Pregnant. The actor wrote on Instagram that in the series, she will be talking to healthcare providers, experts, nurses and of course real moms to get the scoop on all things pregnancy and beyond.

The four-part series is slated to premiere on Netflixs main YouTube channel and its social media channels this month, according to People .
