Seeing black women set standards and exceed them more than they ever imagined really allows us young black woman believe and SEE that we can do anythingggg!!! I love it here✨🥺
One thing I like about the film and t.v. industry is that BW really stand together and help each other out. More and more of them have their own production companies and are getting production deals. These days, it seems like all the major networks have their version of a Shonda Rhimes. They bring in black writers and everything.

yesss preach 🙌🏽

She looks so young beautiful and happy. She's glowing
You’re so right she’s glowing, I was noticing her skin so silky and beautiful looking like it’s lit from within, what’s your secret Taraji. Not that greasy look, but supple.

We are living in a generation where one job is NOT enough! You need multiple checks coming in to survive!! When I was just working a job, I couldn't even pay my bills. Now with a good job, school and a side hustle, I am able to pay my bills and do the things I want!! Once I get my degree and open my business, I plan to be successful and long lasting!! 🙏🙏
Amen I feel you
i was saying the exact thing you have written here, dear to my boy friend .......... we are both highly well-educated .
Totally agree and was having this conversation not too long ago. I wish you continued blessings and success 🙏🏽🙏🏽
You gotta get a career, not a job.
@@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy there's plenty of folks who have careers and earn lower incomes like social workers and teachers
This woman’s age still blows my mind considering how absolutely stunning she looks. Let’s not even talk about her genius as an actress. And her interviews are always so fun and down to earth . I love her
She is definitely in the category of ageless, gorgeous black women as Saana Lathan, Nia Long, Angela Bassett, my girl who acted as Candy in Best Man, and the list goes on... God truly blessed black women with so many gifts!
She is still young. She is not 100. Grow up
@@DreamChaser415 I think the immature one who’s got some growing up to do here is obviously you. The fact that you made this comment says it all.
@fairy wishes It's called makeup.
@fairy wishes Ah make-up, lighting on the show. Plus on Empire, she was always in some stressed-out situation so she had to look the part.
This woman deserves all the success, she put in work , went to college and believed in herself, faith is key.
i appreciate the two co hosts talking to guests this season. Especially the ones that the guests will relate to the most.
Genius. And they relate on a racial level as well. They relate as actors. The conversation is so much more full. It helps that taraji is a great interviewee too
Yeah I like two as well, the guests focus better.
Omg i didnt even notice the other two werent there!. Ur right it was so much smoother and more aBout the guest than everyone’s silly opinion. I like
Much better this way
I like it better this way! They should keep it like this!
This is most candid interview I’ve ever seen , She’s also damn flawless 😍😍😍🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🔭
Mo’Nique isn’t the only one that speaks on pay disparity against black women it’s real and it’s time for a change.
white people support their own so the money and demand is there for their actors to make more. we as black people don't show up to the the box office, so the money isn't there. if white movies make $250 million at the box office, then the main actor can get paid $20 million, but if the black movie only make $30 million, then the main actor can only make $3 million. same with Monique. black people wasn't going to show up to see Monique on Netflix, therefore, they weren't going to make a return on investment had they paid her the same as Amy Schumer
She just looks so good here. She is so beautiful and has such great energy
She does.
Tweaks, I think.
Taraji has a beautiful voice!! she is really a jack of all trades! we need to give this woman her flowers 💐💖
She does have a nice voice
and coins 💰💵💴💸
This was such an amazing interview. The transparency was a breath of fresh air. This is also a great motivation segment for women watching this. To understand that no one can advocate for our worth better than ourselves.
I would love to see scarlet Johnson Discuss how she stood up for herself and went head to head with Disney.
She brought interesting perspectives
She did! Every time I see her interview she’s informed and so giving.
💯💯
Hands down the best interview BY FAR this season & on this show altogether !!! I’m glad they had all 3 black women stage together to embrace and have a very important conversation that other people that look like them need to hear in regards to mental health , self worth & etc .
When I saw Taraji name I knew she'd want Loni & Garcelle to do this interview.
It's beautiful
Jeannie Mai is screaming it's all women.
bring Taraji back!! this was such a great, genuine and authentic interview.
A key difference between black Hollywood and white Hollywood is wealth. Something they rarely speak about is that some of the white entertainers had family money to give them a financial cushion while they pursue their ambitions. This allows them to say no to low wages.
But as a majority of black people who want to enter the industry they have to barely survive. The higher ups know this and can systematically low ball black entertainers.
It will take SYSTEMATIC CHANGE and *reparations* for fair equitable pay. Especially to black women who get paid the least.
Yessss! The salary you start with forms the base for your next project. If you start on a very low rate, your next gig, even if it's higher will still be low relative to the person who started on a higher rate and is just as talented and has similar audience pull
It happens to BW across all industries. This is why BM should be building and employing their own people -- but they rarely do this for themselves.
@The Hip hop Guitarist Assuming you watched the video and followed the math she explained, 150k gross earning comes down to 30k take home. 30k take home for 5 months work is 6k per month. Which would be decent (6*12 is 72k, not up to the 75k mark of what’s considered to be the level where additional increases in wealth don’t matter as much) for a 9-5 worker in most fields but she’s an actress in Hollywood. Who has to support her son (who she explains in the video, his tuition costs exactly that 30k) but assuming he goes to a cheaper school, she’d still have to spend on a house in a good neighborhood, she’s famous and that can put her security at risk. Other bills, supporting extended family who feel like she’s doing great etc. it’s not a lot of money to spend tbh
@The Hip hop Guitarist It's the only work she did for 5 months. If you work it out for the year, there are people that work in technology and healthcare that make that -- and more. It's not a lot of money -- especially for a hit movie (that brought in hundreds of millions of dollars) and established actor. It's nowhere near rich. You have a poor person's mentality.
I agree with that.
She’s right because I will pay to see Taraji in a movie
She’s right. I watched Empire just because she was in it! I didn’t know that I would’ve been interested in the story because I haven’t watched it yet. But she made me want to watch it and damn I spent hours binging on the whole series! 😂
This is exactly what I did for her 😂
She’s always so refreshing to watch. Brings joy to my face every time I watch her on TV.
These are the conversations that give this show its name... Real Talk...thanks for normalizing conversations about salaries and so much more Taraji..wishing you continued success❤
I need to stop forgeting that Taraji can literally do anything. Always a joy to see her!
Wow. She broke it down!!
I honestly was all prepared to say: "She greedy", but she really proved me wrong!!
No-one ever broke it down like that to me before?!
She deserve so much more!!
Lisa left eye Lopez did... We know what happened then.
Taraji should do Broadway especially considering that she was a musical theater major in college.
The conversations on the Real have definitely gone up another level. Love to see it!
So glad she has the courage to talk about the numbers!
👍🏾
Love Taraji! So beautiful, inside and out. Love her makeup. She's giving old school Lil Kim.
It's the nose looking like Lil Kim
Yes said the same even how she is talking I see lil Kim back in the day
Really something wrong with the make-up. She looks kinda weird. And we all know shes beautifull. Her lips and nose look weird. Live her, not the makeup.
Taraji P Henson broke it down I’m proud of her she’s humble talented and seems to be real
When she said she dresses for the ladies... I felt that.
She is just a real down to earth talented woman. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Orgueil
I really like her, Taraji just seems real, I like that. I’m glad she’s making more, she is talented. This was a great convo between women who understand the hardships they face. Coming from a nonblack woman I can appreciate the candor between them.
What a powerful interview and that math she broke down for yall need to be clipped and saved... thank you for this
Loved the math breakdown!!! A lot of the expenses (employee salaries) can be written off if it's a corporation receiving the performance fee.
- I absolutely LOVE Taraji, and I appreciate her breaking that math down for us. It is always important to know your worth, then add your own tax. 🤑🤑
but don't get CRAZY
This very beautiful and talented woman is so inspiring! She deserves all the success she has
I love how down to earth this interview was, this was like being in the living room with the aunts.
She basically made no money and still not mad? That’s power.
This was probably the best guest interview I have seen on The Real. Wow, so informative! 💯
Wow the realist show I've seen. Pay her!
I think the pandemic have really thought people the importance of multiple streams of income, unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security..
It's not how much money you keep, but how much money you make, how hard it works for you and how many generations you keep it for.
@@nataliewatson3501 Interesting, most people don't understand the market moves and tend to be mislead in facts like this and always depend on Money in the Bank very bad idea
@Harrison Morgan I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do because I have no idea of how and where to invest in?
@Douglas Connors People are really scared of investing in commodities because of the rate of unprofessionals today, but this is awesome just made a few research about him, and I'm shocked to see that he is a top notch.
I’ve seen different recommendations about this Pro trader, he must be very exceptional for people to talk this good about him.
The sad thing is, this is true for multiple people not just people who are in the industry. I work in education and when you work in “private” institutions, it’s not the government who’s paying you so you can negotiate your salary and things of the sort. For maybe the first 4 years of my work life, I got paid dust. And when I realized that and started speaking up, people looked at me differently like how dare you speak up for what you truly are worth? And so I vowed myself to never get in a situation or place where my worth isn’t recognized from the get go.
I do understand that it’s a very privileged way of thinking because I’m single and I don’t have 2 or 3 kids I have to feed and clothe. But I promise you, the minute you start believing in your own worth and let God guide you towards something new, no matter how scary that new may seem, other people will look at you and understand that if they don’t come at you straight they’re gonna lose you because you bring something nobody else does.
Facts!
I am a white woman who loves and respects you for believing in your worth. I don't always believe in myself. Thank you from a mother for educating our children
@@jenniferwhitehead5418 that is very kind, thank *you* ❤️
@@naiiiim you are very welcome. I love teachers
You’re soooo right! Preach!
I LOVE this season. Real conversations are being have on this show. Finally! Thank you for having Taraji on and giving her the time to speak.
I just love how she as a mom did and is doing so much for her son. I just love Taraji
I'm back for a fuller version. Def fav chat this yr! So glad she came. Her singing omg! Hope she get more roles like this to show case her awesomeness. Def tell people your worth I learn that by day-to-day and be firm!
The best I really enjoyed her on the show I feel so inspired 🤩
Love me some Taraji. She's is such a fun, no nonsense personality.
I see the changes on The Real and I am here for it… I stopped watching this show two years ago but now I see it thru different lenses. Keep growing and being honest about the truth of this industry.
She’s absolutely stunning ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I just love her and her story. Such an inspiration.
Thank you for shareing the full interview. It was a great discussion.
This reminds me of Left Eye out of TLC breaking it down re music industry. Pay Black artists what they are worth - they bring the audiences globally! L💖ve Taraji's drive and her honesty! She 1st got my attention in the James Brown biopic "Get Up". And God bless Tyler Perry. #talent #blackgirlmagic
Instantly remembered that Behind the Music special! “And when we return: Left Eye: THIS IS HOW YOU CAN SELL 10 MILLION RECORDS AND STILL BE BROKE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN GET YOUR PENCILS OUT
The way Taraji speaks about her god given talent is phenomenal just like Left Eye. I remember the FanMail song on the Fan Mail album I still remember her voice echoing an interview she did “We received mail from fans saying you guys are the fiends, and pimps, and thugs of stage and you owe every mother in America an apology”
What an amazing interview!! Hit all the spots & right on time. Love Taraji! And Garcelle runs an excellent interview!💖💖💖
This was amazing 😍🥰 so educational !
Great interview!!! Love Taraji authenticity and the interview questions!
Taraji P. Henson a phenomenal talent. May she always be paid, recognized and rewarded for what she is worth in all areas of her life.
I absolutely LOVE how excited the 3 of them were to see one another ❤
i’ll never get tired of hearing her story 🖤 it’s so inspiring
I love that she shared that. I never question people asking pay but its good she educated us all. She continues to be down to earth and I love it.
Omg Now I understand why I love her so much😍
Monique said the same exact thing but she was the bad guy
I think it’s how Monique presented herself
@@jadapattersonlove message still the same.
I agree, forget the delivery, she was telling the truth
Such a great interview. So real. Taraji is fabulous, love her!
Loved every freaking millisecond of this! Come on The Real! Y’all betta do it!
Taraji is and will always be one of my favorite! Every movie she does from Baby boy to the Muppets she is so captivating on the screen and can play any part to the fullest! May God continue to guide her on all she does!
Taraji is so beautiful with an amazing personality. Amazing interview Ladies.
Yes! Mental Health convos are much needed! 💚Taraji
I literally just watched the movie with my kids right before watching this clip and I was so happily surprised by seeing Taraji in it. And my first thought when seeing her on it was, wow, the muppets got an A list actress on this! I love Taraji. She is an amazing actress and deserves all the pay.
💖 I absolutely love Taraji & was really looking forward to watching this interview. I was so upset when I put on my DVR recording only to see it replaced with Nick Cannon’s show. So happy I’m subscribed to your TH-cam channel!
TARAJI!!!!! YES MAAM!!! I LOVE HOW YOU ALWAYS EDUCATE AND ENTERTAIN US! I AM THANKFUL FOR YOU!!!
YOUR MONEY IS ON THE WAY!!!!
Taraji needs her own show
Tatraji is so humble. I absolutely love her! Go girl go! I could hear her talk all day🥰🙏🏼
....Thank You Taraji for Opening My Eyes!! It's worse than I thought! You deserve all your success, you always bring the talent!
She’s looks so beautiful looking healthy skin looks great, don’t look the age you go girl
yaaaaaay! tarajiiii! thank you for coming on!
one of the best interviews ive seen... so good
I really enjoyed this interview.
My girl! I love taraji p Henson. She is such a great actress and I can’t name my favorite role because there have been so many. Who can ever forget Yvette in baby boy, shut in hustle n flow,Mary in proud Mary and cookie from empire? I’m so happy for her success. She seems like such a grounded, real and down to earth person. Would love to meet her one day.
The definition of a Queen! Such an inspiration ❤️
What a great interview! Love Taraji’s personality!
I just love it when this woman (Taraji) speaks. What a woman!! 👏🏽
She is amazing. I believe 50% from taxes is highly exaggerated but she is right on how people only see what someone receive and not consider what they really received after necessary deductions, lifestyle etc.
Best lesson I have learned. Thank you Taraji!
I love these 2 hosts. They really relate. Enough respect. 3 beautiful women.
I love her honesty
Wow! Thank you for being so transparent Taraji! ❤️ How could you not admire her.
I'm loving this interview. Go ladies!!!
I want Taraji P Henson on the panel for a whole season 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yeah, but she is very busy with acting
11:52 is the real tea. They (producers and casting directors lacking cultural competence) think "black actress" not Taraji Henson.
I love me so Taraji, she’s such an inspiration! 🙌🏽❤️ and she’s Virgo like myself 💕
How are all these women over 50??? They look amazing!
Seriously!!! And I thought Loni was still in her 40’s? Let Me look it up lol
@@QueenChastity Wikipedia will tell you she turned 50 on July but she's actually said it on the show before that Wikipedia has her year wrong, she actually turned 51, I believe.
I'm so glad that she told that break down of the business and sharing her worth
Kudos to Taraji for breaking down the money aspect of Hollywood. As an up-and-coming actress this is valuable information.
Great interview!
She's too cute, and you can hear the sweetness in her voice....Much respect!
I just love this woman! Amazing talent
yes that master cleanse is everything....gives my scalp soooo much life. Between my workouts and daily sweat sessions, it really helps keep my scalp clean and conditioned.
I’m so glad they only had Garcelle and Loni for this interview. 🙌🏼
Amazing woman! I wish her tons of more success!
Taraji is right. If she’s in a movie I’m going to watch it! She’s a beautiful soul!
12:25
Fun fact: I went to the same high school that Jim Henson went to.
It’s a Visual and Performing Arts magnet school.
There’s a displace at the entrance with Kermit The Frog 🐸
Jim Henson is also a Mississippi native
As being a super fan of Jim Henson , in Atlanta The center for Puppetry Arts is an amazing place to visit a lot of Jim Henson creations are housed there! Beside Sesame Street I fell in love with The Labrynth and there’s a actual display of the talking hands ! As a 35 year old woman I teared up so and explained to my you daughters what it was!
BTW also a super fan of Taraji !!
Fun fact: I went to high school with Taraji 😉
Thank you for the breakdown!
This is sooo awesome! 🥰 Congratulations, Taraji Henson!! 🙌🏾👏🏾
Thank You Taraji for this openness and transparency
Sooo talented- didn’t even know she can singggg ❤️❤️❤️🔥👏🏾
Love Taraji she always keeps it real! 💯 This is how everyone should think when trying to work in the Entertainment industry.
Such a beautiful and genuine spirit. Taraji is definitely a class act. A true Melanin Queen👑🌺🙏🏽
