Though her wardrobe certainly was a contrast to her role on television, the Alabama native, 30, also revealed what she’d be doing if she wasn’t slaying zombies. “[I’d be in] human resources; it’s all about ensuring employees’ satisfaction and making the workplace somewhere people want to go,” she told the mag.Sonequa Martin-Green room

But in real life, Martin-Green reflects her character, Sasha Williams, at least in toughness. “Season 5 was a huge workout all on its own, because I was pregnant the entire season. I was able to do it, thank goodness, but that was pretty crazy,” she said.Danai Gurira white background

The drama, which runs at New York’s Public Theater through Nov. 29, stars none other than Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, and is Gurira’s second play. The story surrounds a group of women during Liberia’s civil war. “I was enthralled by an image I saw in the New York Times in 2003 of women in the Liberian war right when it was at its climax,” the Mother of George star told DuJour. “There were some women rebel fighters who were getting attention in the Western press because no one had ever seen anything like this. I was raised in Africa and I had never seen anything like it, women with AK-47s, dressed very hip and looking formidable. I was keen to one day pursue that story and put it on the stage.”
