Stephanie Andujar has received critical acclaim for her performance as young Miss Rosa in Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black.”

And she’s starred in a host of other films and TV series, including the Academy Award-winning “Precious,” “A Walk Among the Tombstones,” “Marjorie Prime,” “Blue Bloods,” “Law & Order” and “Blindspot.”

But before she embarked on her acting career, she was a Dream Scholar—a youngster who received academic support given to under-resourced children to offer them a better chance to succeed.

Andujar will share how her experience with the I Have a Dream Foundation in New York where the movement started impacted her life during an appearance at 5 p.m. Friday, April 1, at Ketchum’s Community Library.

Her appearance is hosted by I Have a Dream Foundation-Idaho, which has been cultivating the educational lives of four dozen youngsters in the Wood River Valley who are set to graduate this spring. The local I Have a Dream Foundation just embarked this year on nurturing the academic lives of a new group of students in the Wood River Valley, with the intent of providing them academic support and cultural enrichment.
