Nigerian-American actress Uzo Aduba @uzoaduba appeared on Late Night With Seth Myers on Thursday to tell more priceless tales about her proud Zumba-loving mother. The Orange Is The New Black star, whose full name is Uzoama, told Seth, “I wanted to be called Zoe. And so I came home one day and I was like, ‘Mommy, can you call me Zoe?’ And she was cooking and she just stopped and she looked at me and she was like, ‘why?’ And I said because no one can say Uzoamaka. And without skipping a beat she was like, ‘If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky, and Dostoevsky, and Michelangelo, then they can learn to say Uzoamaka.’ And she went right back to cooking and did not stop.”
