Networks would rather cancel a show entirely than to pay Black actors what they’re worth in most cases. People say they should negotiate better, but the other side has to have a basic level of respect in your worth for that to happen. It’s usually take what we offer or you don’t work. The thought of Black actors being paid comparably is insulting to them.
Exactly. Excellent comment. I agree wholeheartedly.
The point is these actors are unable to negotiate top tier contracts. And yes. The network would literally cancel a profitable show to make an example of them.
Prime example Living Single!
Do Black Producers like Tyler Perry, Oprah, Quincy Jones and others pay Black Actors more than their White counterparts? 🧐
@@user-gu6vf3je1dDo Black Producers pay Black actors more than their White counterparts or that doesn’t matter? 🧐
Big Puzzle. But could it just be an issue of lack of marketability to all demographics/ audiences?!!
Taraji needs her own talk show… podcast. I love her and Viola
@sherlm7799, I'm sure Ms. Sheryl Lee Ralph could be put on that list as well.
Many Black women are suffering in silence, because we are often discarded. No more!!! Kudos to both of you women for having an honest conversation. This transcends acting, money and/or fame. We are finally carving out space for us to talk about us.
Go to Eastern Europe.
It's just not black women who they are doing this to, Black men and other minorities.
Terrance Howard also talked about not getting paid fair, when he was supposed to do Iron Man 2.
They wanted him to take a pay cut, so they could pay Robert Downey Jr more money.
This is what happens when you 💩 on affirmative action and civil rights that black men died for. Yes, it wasn’t reparations but it was those actions that would stabilize a future until drugs came. Furthermore this is the result of not demanding for working men and putting drug dealers in their place. WTH??
The Cosby show should never be compared to the embarrassment of Empire. That show was different in terms of using psychology and sociology to HELP not harm the community. Empire wasn’t reality based as Friends Seinfeld Full House Family Matters Fresh Prince or Rosanne?!! That is poor representation of the community.
Talk, talk, talk! Talk is cheap! It’s just like marching it does nothing. Talk is cheap and action speaks‼️
This interview is amazing. Really appreciate Taraji P Henson being transparent, and discussing topics that most people avoid
Not only is this MEGA TALENTED beautiful young woman underpaid... She straight up should have won a supporting OSCAR for her role in Hustle and Flow!! Male and female actors should be ADVOCATING for people like her in this industry!! She is obviously special!
Tell that to Oprah...
They don't give black actors for playing in their opinion... a version of themselves... tariji should have gotten for hidden figures maybe.but technically, it has not had a break out role.imo. but blk don't get those roles easily
How in the hell do the government take 50% of your payout 😳?? This system is truly flawed and disrespectful.
The disparity between the ones respected and the ones that are disrespected..CREATE YOUR OWN!
@@SteviesstoriessShe could be exaggerating the number but they take hefty amounts the more you make.
What she has to dole out to her team of helpers factors in as well.
I'm triggered and in tears. This was the most honest interview about depression in the Black community and the inequity that Black women face in society I have ever heard. My life was scattered throughout this conversation. Thank you for speaking truth to power. Also, everyone should have a therapist.
Me too 😢😢😢 I love being a Black Women always studied but not respected
You can always tell broke people think if you get paid more than the broke person gets paid you should be happy with what they give you vs being paid the same thing their counterparts are. A whole mess.
Taraji is a rich Black woman...why are you in tears? 😏
Acrimony was a great movie but then again Taraji P. Henson is great in EVERYTHING! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Trauma on all levels for us. Wealth disparity can be seen all the way up, it's a shame in 2023. Taraji is an excellent actress. She should be paid for her worth as an actress. We appreciate you Taraji for your hard work and many sacrifices made in the industry. Your raise well deserved is right around the corner. Be encouraged my sister.
Love these two ladies. So proud to be a black woman!
❤🖤💚👊🏾🧜🏾♀️
One of her works I feel a lot of people don't talk about and our community didn't really watch, was the tv show Person of Interest. She played a detective and she was awesome in the role. She was on that show for five season. Not too many people acknowledge it.
She was INCREDIBLE IN that! I was so sad when her character died! 😢
She was awesome. The show faded after she was killed off.
Protect Taraji at all costs! She is one of our Gems!
The pay disparity against this queen and other black queens is egregious and makes me so mad. Taraji is absolutely phenomenal in every thing she does. She's such a hard worker. Such a reliable leading lady that it's mind boggling that she's not getting the same pay rate that top actresses get. I hope she continues to fight for pay equity. We love you Taraji ❤️
I agree 💯..she's a phenomenal woman and an incredible actress..I love all her movies..
Makes me so mad too
Love everything she is in! One of my favorite actresses.
ABSOLUTELY!!! In EVERYTHING She Does, She's AWESOME! I Love Watching Her!
🙄
Not taking anything from Taraji, her talent puts her amongst the G.O.A.T.s… But please look at how Jamele handles this interview; my goodness! She gets out of Taraji’s way, not leading, directing, interrupting, but allowing Taraji to be Taraji. I loved Jamele on ESPN and never knew she was such a talented interviewer. This is an amazing 50 minutes, wow. It’s like we are all flies at the cookout listening to family.
This is the story of our lives! In Art, in business, in corporate, all of it…yet, we (black women) are the most educated demographic. It’s exhausting!
@tobymiddleton6312 All it takes is a quick Google search to find several research papers that say that. 🤡
That part!
There is no way 8% of the population holds 51% of the college degrees. Stop spreading misinformation.
And how did they become most educated? Educators !! Do have any idea what they make? Stop complaining and be grateful. Anything you have doesn’t belong to you anyway . Give Gos what He deserves first and maybe more will come to you.
@@MandyZ1225 Ma’am, you need to get a grip. I could never be ungrateful, just speaking facts of what happens daily to a lot of women of color. Also, you have no idea what someone’s relationship is with God or how much they give to community, church and other efforts. Yes, black women have been the most educated demographic for over ten years. It’s just a comment based on my experiences…have a great holiday.
I worked at a alternative high school in Brooklyn. I was a school social worker for about three years. Gangs, labels, cutting, teen pregnancy, young domestic violence, homelessness, poverty, and the list goes on. Now working as a psychotherapist. I am the therapist from around the way as well. I can relate of the statement being robbed of your childhood. Environment plays a big part in nature and nurture. Taraji I was told I had an edge to me too as a therapist, because I didn't speak the way the other therapist spoke. I told someone there is a difference when I'm working with people look like me. They would rather for me to understand where they coming from, and have the tools to equip them with instead of me, throwing fancy words at them to impress them. Therefore, you are right, keep your edge. And the reason why my clients like me or even love me is because of my edge. I don't know how to be anyone else except me. also, I love love what I do. And the funny thing is, I'm meeting with people from all walks of life. And I'm helping them navigate through life so they can play their game of life to the best of their ability. Because that's what therapy is really all about.
I hate that she’s going through this
She’s one of the best in the game
I am in Botswana. The first time I really knew Taraji was when she acted in Baby Boy. I loved her and followed her since. She was the thread that kept EMPIRE together. The rest is history! KARATE KID, ACRIMONY, HIDDEN FIGURES, PROUD MARY eta.
Thato, wena you are a true fan. Putsununu
One of my favs that Taraji’s in “I CanDo Bad By Myself”. Everytime she starts singing, “Help me on my journey, help me on my way.” I cry 😭. It’s SOOO GOOD.
That's one of my favorites too
She REALLY played that role. She had me mad at her, crying with her and ready to electrocute dude too! But I thoroughly enjoyed Hidden Figures as well.
Amazing interview. Salary disparities are REAL and I pray that Taraji and ALL Black women get the pay we are due.
Being a victim is lame.
I'm in Europe. Well, please tell Taraji that I knew about her great artistry and talent by seeing her in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" film, not by seeing her Cookie's character. Many years later, I saw the "Hidden Figures" movie. I appreciate so much the historical movies, from which anybody can discover, yet learn something. Octavia Spencer was there , Taraji P. Henson was there ... I felt it would be amazing, even before seeing the film !
SPEAK the TRUTH Taraji and Mo’Nique❣️❣️Also unfair pay happens in the Blue-collar and White-collar world.
My brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2013. He also has non verbal and 2 other mental disabilities. and he has never received treatment only medication. We have gone through so much trauma and it has affected our mental health advocating for him. Kaiser Permanente has recently been sued by other families for mental health discrimination. We have looked and reached out to lawyers to take our case not getting past a phone consultation. He have years of evidence. If anyone knows a lawyer please reach out. We are still being met with the run around. And we are keeping records of it all.
I love the mental health conversation and her realness. I have admired her talent for the longest and how real she is. I am not an actress but I can only imagine how she has to be herself and fight stereotypes and go forward with her dreams and not give up on her worth. Most of us can relate to that. I love how she said that there’s strength in vulnerability. That’s freeing.
I'm watching Acrimony right now. I absolutely Love Taraji P Henson. A beautiful, talented, down to Earth Sistah. Thank you for being a Good Voice for our people of color.
I have been singing professionally for over 40 years and because of our hue, we face many issues and disses in the Entertainment Industry, no matter how good we are and no matter how much money we make for that franchise. I am a survivor like you are, and know that compromise of integrity is not an option and closed mouths don't get fed, so we push on, do our best, make our concerns known, and hope for brighter days and proper recognition. I don't know if they will ever give us what we are worth... but Maybe one day we will get our reparations from this business as well. Carry On Sistah! RISE!!
In the meantime, remain diligent and humble and Blessed beyond belief. Our Breakthrough is Near. ❤🎉😊☮️🙏🏾🎶🎬🎭👑🥂
I absolutely love the passion and transparency in this interviews. Black Girls Rock!!!!!
This interview was EVERYTHING! So much work to be done. So much we take for granted. Thanks for bringing this awareness.
And soooo many of you have no idea how movie production and, further, pay to actors are figured...
I have so much admiration for Taraji P I don’t even know how to put it in words. Superhuman
I can see it on Jemele face that she is bearing witness to Taraji's testimony.😍😍😍
Great Interview!! Jemele Hill such a great listener love how you are allowing her to talk and express herself!! Love Taraji P. Henson!!
Taraji is so pretty and talented. She deserves the recognition
Taraji is rare she talks truth, truth is she's helping alot of younger persons find their footing. She has gone through life and she's showing us the way to own who we are first and stay true to who we are. This interview is alot. Thank you so much. Martin Luther King Jr broke some jinks, today you are breaking the jinks of unequal pay madness. We will win this I know. Keep up the good work sis. We love you all yhe way from Nigeria.
My twin brother has been diagnosed with schizophrenia & Bipolar disorder since we were in our early twenties. Taraji is 100% right. Black men have nowhere to turn to out here. It's ridiculous.
Wrong. They turn to us. Who do BW turn to? Are you his primary caretaker?
I really love her work. I feel like I can relate to her in a lot of ways. I hope she gets the pay deserves 🕊️
What work? I don’t know her work.
In my Minorities class (soc. major), we had a lecture on pay inequalities. I was shocked and saddened while the prof. kept listing pay as a % of what the average white man is paid. That was decades ago. The fight continues.
Yeah, it continues when BP pick degrees like sociology, psychology and art.
I am glad that Taraji talked about paying inequality for Black actresses as a whole because bloggers who want likes and clicks turned it into an Oprah and Taraji feud, and that was not want Taraji said. It is horrible how we allow the plantation to pit one against the others.
Taraji is one of my favorite actresses and it breaks my heart that she has to go through this..but I pray that she is shining a light on this so they can get paid properly this is terrible..I pray God opens the door for equity!
Jemele im learning the art of really listening today, you are an amazing interviewer.
Such a great interview! I love Taraji even more after this. We need to hear this transparency
Well, I have checked Taraji's social media accounts: 21 MILLION Instagram fans, 5 MILLION Twitter fans and 11 MILLION Facebook fans. That's 37 MILLION fans... but's let's round it back to 35 MILLION. Now, if she leveraged that incredible social media group and pitched a movie project to them through crowdfunding that she would star in and produce with lots of other great Black actresses and actors, she could raise millions.
If she asked her fans to donate a minimum of $10 towards the production in exchange for a digital copy of the film, she could raise $350,000,000!!! That's a bigger budget than Fast and Furious 10 or Avengers: Infinity War or Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End or Justice League or Star Wars: The Last Jedi or Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness or Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny or Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One!
Right. Everything is already in place. My idea was a podcast but she could promote the crowdfunding projects on the podcast. The money is there, she's just looking in the wrong places.
@@BackToTheBoomBap sometime wanting validation from others can cost a lot of unnecessary pain, especially when God have already validated her, to be creative in so many areas and streams of income it's time for a New direction
@@BackToTheBoomBapYou’re missing the point! IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, IT’S ABOUT FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY. When will that be understood?
@@sharonguyton9119 No. I get that fact. As black people, unfortunately we always have to deal with racism. We can't make racists not be racists. They have to want to change. We can't expect the white owned studios to not be racist and give more and better opportunities to their own. All I was saying is that what she wants to get that she has earned with her talent and experience, she's not going to get from them. And is about the money with her and it's nothing wrong with that. She's saying her money doesn't match her accolades. but it can if she produces and distributes her own films.
We need to pull out of everything and start our own. PERIOD!
Totally agree! Gotta pay the cost to be the boss.
YES!!!
Agreed😊
This hit heavy on my heart ❤️ in so many different aspects. Being a black woman is hard we have to endure so much… we have so many trauma stories to tell amongst us is so sad. Really can relate to her stories.
Thank you for giving Jada her flowers🌹
Which Jada, the one who can't act?
Keep pushing Taraji! You will get the pay you deserve ❤️
When you see a thumbnail with Jemele and Taraji's faces... CLICK! I loved this ladies. ❤😂
Empire was a smash she should have gotten a fashion deal her fashion in that show was fire 🔥
I really enjoyed watching this. I’m a Life Coach and I “overstand” so much that was said! Love Taraji!!! 😘 And I was the child that became a young empath from the childhood trauma! I became empathetic and wanted to make everyone understand HELL NO WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU WASNT NORMAL AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU!!! So, I enjoy seeing that light come on in people when I am able to help them release the responsibility of all that adult responsibility and rage. This was very good! 🙏🏽 Thank you.
I love you Taraji you are amazing I love your energy 💛 I wish you get that 100 million you deserve!
6:30 An actress is paid 150K for a role in a film. She has to pay 50% of that to the IRS. She also has to pay 30% of 150K to her team. Her son's school is 30K. How much does she have left?
Let's break it down step by step.
1. **Income from the film role:** $150,000
2. **Taxes (50%):** 50% of $150,000 = $75,000
3. **Amount left after paying taxes:** $150,000 - $75,000 = $75,000
Now, from the remaining $75,000:
4. **Payments to her team which probably means agent, manager etc (30%):** 30% of $150,000 = $45,000
5. **Amount left after paying her team:** $75,000 - $45,000 = $30,000
After deducting taxes and team payments, she has $30,000 remaining. From this, she has to pay her son's school fees, which is $30,000.
So, she doesn't have anything left after paying her son's school fees.
I LOVED this interview!! Taraji is so inspiring, encouraging and real opening up about her journey. I shed tears with her as she relayed her ups and downs and her victories. I'm so happy that she's finding and nurturing herself. It's so true that when you go inside and love yourself first, you change the trajectory of your entire life. I just love her! Thank you Jemele (my favorite host of course 🤩)
Black people in the U.S been not getting paid what they are worth from Doctors to Dentist, teachers , warehouse work etc. I just love her. She( Taraji) is one of the best Actress in the world. She can play any role, from funny to serious. She definitely deserves top pay. With Mr. Perry and OPRA They are the biggest names now. We just need to keep focusing on there networks and keep praying 🙏 That our Black people get paid what they are worth. Focus on Black owned companies. Now not everyone is raciest or trying to get over on people. So may the few keep standing and keep being blessed. Cause our country is one nation under God.
Across the creative field, matchmovers, designers 3d animators you name it. Knowing your price is a dark art and making sure you get paid is even more difficult.
Black owned companies, many also operate with a similar mindset . they'd paid those caucasian boys what their worth but the try to negotiate down with BP.. toxicity usually starts in the family .
I loved this interview because she told us how she was feeling. Thank you so much for this.
Jamele, great talk, outstanding discussion! Taraji; beautiful, talented, range (no boundaries)… no doubt an icon, legend. Rooted and roofless… We support and will always be here for you. Keep the faith and keep bringing speaking up.
I love me some Taraji!!! I stand with on the pay issue you are talented and AMAZING❤❤❤
Great interview! They always want black women to change themselves so others can be comfortable. I deal with it in my walk of life. I am professional in performing my job but feel people want me to dwarf my personality. It's such a struggle to authentically be yourself. You are not allowed to have emotions or a powerful voice. I stopped letting insecure people control how I show up. Now they know I will not be changed. Stand your ground, be polite, firm, and unwavering.🥰
That’s right stand your ground because you deserve it. I see you working hard as an actress.
What a great interview, I hope Taraji gets to see this so she knows that there is a large black community in the UK who like me watch American black movies and TV. You are absolutely big over here especially for those that like to watch black actors as they offer inspiration like yourself. I’m one of them and grew up watching black American TV. ( I’m over 40😂)prog like the Cosby show, a different world, hanging with Mr Cooper to Name a few. I am a big fan of Taraji and hope that in the future she gets the Pay equity she deserves, it’s only fair. This has been going on for too long now. Black women not being recognised, not being valued. We need to call them out and shame them.
Taraji is such a good talker. A talk show would be good for her I think.
Thank You for speaking up. Monique spoke the same thing. Where there's Unity there is Strength. They all need to come together.
So thankful for Taraji and you! An amazing conversation
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Thank you, ladies for ALL you do, will do and have done 💛🙏🏾💫🙏🏾💛!
I appreciate Taraji so much! Thank you, sis!!
Great interview! Thank you for your content and the hard work you put in to everything. Love Taraji. Wow! Excellence!
Such a heavy watch. Thank you to all who has hands in creating this video
What an amazing interview.
That was literally therapeutic on all levels, I talking spiritually, mentally, socially, physically, economically, and authentically.
👏 Kudos Ladies 👏
this was an INCREDIBLE interview!! great job to the host and to Taraji
I think Taraji should start a production company. It's a flex to say that you were a part of big selling major motion pictures. So you would think the money would match. Well, for most actors, it doesn't, especially not black actors. The 20 million a film club is a very small club. But she's a big name and has a built in fan base. All she has to do is start a podcast and she'll bank off the sponsors alone. Then, reinvest those profits into the production company, make movies she wants to make and shop them around to streaming platforms. I'm sure Netflix would pay her more because they know more people like watching at home than going to the movies nowadays. She could even release movies for free with ads on TH-cam and get paid that way. And probably still turn around and sell the digital download on her website for $10 or $15. There's so many options outside of the old way where you gotta beg Massa to pay you peanuts.
Love how honest she is, unlike Oprah..
This was WONDERFUL Jemele. Thank you so much for this interview. Love Ya.🤎 And I LOVE Taraji P Henson.🤎🖖🏾🌹
She is such an awesome and amazing actress.
This could be a healing time for us as a community if we would come together!!
I LOVED this conversation... I love you Jemele - Detroit stand up!!!❤❤ and My girl everybody's sista -friend in our heads - Taraji ❤❤
So good. This interview was amazing. I can so resonate with this. Made me ponder and think. May God bless you Taraji! Thank you for your honesty.
I recently read a powerful thought that relates to how our young black girls are perceived and treated due to lack of cultural competence. Unfortunately I can't remember the source otherwise I would attribute the statement to the author. If anyone knows please share. Here it is: "In black girls DESPAIR often shows up as defiance". Isn't that deep? I say that defiance is simply the hard shell protecting the wounded heart!! To Teraji's point about us being socialized to "be strong", if there were more trained clinicians and therapists who understood this dichotomy, our children wouldn't be over disciplined for simply crying out for help in the only way they know how. And they don't even know they are asking; they are just trying to survive!
Who can I bill for these tears?! I didn’t intend to cry 😢💜! Stay strong, keep your voice and continue to live in your truth!! Great interview!
Amazing and very informative interview. Good job, Jemele.✊🏾💯
Me too Taraji, I have a lot of rage seeing how our people are treated and educating myself on our history. I hate I can not afford a therapist even with Better Help. It truly is heartbreaking for our community to experience this.
Honest thought: Why do you relate your inability to afford a therapist with our history in America? Why go all the way back there when all you have to account for is how you have lived your life now? Is there anything you can change now to afford what you want?
@@monember2722 I get what you were trying to do here, but it's honestly a bit obtuse to ask someone why they relate some of their experiences to the experiences of the past. We don't live in a vacuum.
@@gladiatorinsweatsNo, we don't live in a vacuum. I suppose he is making a larger point, and that point is what I feel is unhelpful, and intellectually incorrect. Our ancestors situations aren't our own and we have to realize that and not live in the present tethered to a past of chains and limited opportunities that we haven't experienced. It's mentally and emotionally unhealthy. That's my point in this, there are options within his control to get help.
I loved Taraji as Kookie in Empire I’ll never forget being an extra & she smiled & waved @ me! 🤗
I’ve seen so many fans downing Tarjah! I’m furious because these fools don’t realize Tarjah fighting for her talent and gift being an actress!!! I’m sick of the negativity around her Tarjah realness!
Tarijah I say to you it’s on now baby, it’s time ! You about to crank this industry up!! I see you doing your own now!
Thank you! I work for my state, I have received the same treatment and I’m tired!!
I don’t know what’s going on but we haven’t seen several of our talented sisters on the silver screen in quite some time. Actors like Gabrielle Union, Saana Lathan, Nia Long, Regina King, and Anika Rose, to name a few.
Taraji is ride or die, true love, wifey vibes💗😭😎💗
Great interview, I love Taraji.. may God continue to walk with you❤❤❤
My favorite movie with Taraji is definitely “Hidden Figures “, also Baby Bwoy.💯❤️🙏🏾🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is a great interview because Tariji was so honest about who she is.
We all have this rage about the mistreatment of us as Black Americans. We are always on stage! 😮😢
Acrimony is one of my favorite films with Taraji in it❤
Amazing conversation. We didn’t think we could love Taraji more…
That movie was one of the most heart renching movies I've seen. I cry every time at the end.
Don't give up Taraji!!! It's the hard life black women have to endure to get by. One day we will come on top. Keep your excellent work. You are the best ❤
I always was concerned as a young girl living in a house, where my parents took in foster care kids, and the social workers used to put these kids on medication within the first week. No matter how old or young you are, from the babies crawling to 18 years old these kids were on medication. so a lot of these children leave foster care system and don’t know how to function in the real world because they were so heavily medicated when there were in the system. It was sad.
This is a great conversation ladies I’m so proud of you guys. I can identify with all of the topics from Detroit, and the children are dealing with the same problem. 🙏🏿
My memory is fine. I do not recall anyone not just Taraji supporting Monique when she was complaining about low pay with black actresses.
Wonderful interview Jemel
Im not a Taraji fan yet the conversation about black women and pay disparity is in every field and this type of conversation is needed
Thank you for your amazing skills of being a awsome listener while interviewing and a great inspiration to your viewers
The entertainment industry is full of exploitation and misery
Peace to all the artists and athletes striving to be active and maintain integrity despite the lack of equality and equity.
Im beginning to believe its the middle man.
.May we all have divine health, peace, and prosperity in 2024 and beyond.
She made so strong value points at end. Especially about the learning disability n i always said i should had been n speacil education. Smh. I made it through to a certain point n my life i have to a degree but it surely was not easy for me n still not. Anyways I enjoy her interview n she needs a movie about her life.n i didn't know she like cuss so much lol. N i went to Crenshaw for 2 myself. N other Crenshaw ppl here.
We love you too here in New Zealand Ms Taraji and thank you.
you are a million, billion, katrillion, quadrillion percent right. if this was meryl streep, glenn close, sandra bullock, we would not be having this conversation. taraji, sis, you talking right, you havent told a lie yet, yes, jump up and down about it. much love.
A really precious, yet so inspirational interview!. I really love and respect Taraji, her artistry, her genuineness. Thanks for this interview !!🌈🥰💫
Thanks Jemele! Great interview!!! I get her complaints on the pay inequity in Hollywood. She broke it down! I was talking with my barber this morning about her performance. We need more Taraji in Hollywood. She did the damn thing in the color purple.
This INTERVIEW is 🔥💯...SALUTE
I really love this episode, gratitude for creating such an insightful conversation, Jemele ❤❤❤❤ love, the work that Taraji P hensan is doing. Mental health is indeed wealth.
