I love what she says about being herself but not sleeping on her training. The idea that artists of color are still feeling the need to code-switch in this business is ridiculous. She is brilliant just as she is!
Manifesting working with this living legend 1 day, been watching her kill it since smart guy. I really felt this being raised by a single mother. Def deserves her roses, thank you both for such a dope interview, Ms. Henson reminds me to stay true to yourself and be unapologetically you! She had me crackin up all the way through but she kept it a buck ! -J.R. Lloyd
I absolutely enjoyed this interview! I understand the struggle as a black woman feeling invisible and unheard. I'm in tears. This year I fell in love with myself. Therefore, I will no longer settle for less! The price went up! I love you Taraji!
@TarajiPHenson On Strong the woman ! Thank you ! Ive been struggling for 3 years and have ALWAYS been just that but these last few Im not that now 😭 But am constantly told your strong you can do this as you always have ~ even tho Im screaming that Im not right now and haven’t been Im being unheard . Thank you !🙌🏽
I have acted on a small level but the emotional outpouring is immense. I think about preachers and singers who pour out day after day and know one realizes the emotional toll it has on a human being. Thank you Taraji for pulling down the facade.
I love how whimsical she is. I’m so interested in how she balances that serious strength with her innocence and comedy. I respect her so much for her struggle and all of the things she’s had to fight to get here.
Ms. Teraji P. Henson, keep shining, for GOD is in this and just sit back see GOD at WORK in your Favor..🙏🏿🙌🏽🙌🏻🙌✨️. GOD is bigger than all these people who think they're the big deal. "All things work together for those that believe." U will get paid as u deserve & you've earned it all..🙏🏾🙌🏻🙌✌️👌🏽👍🏿
That's right taraji....we see talented skilled gifted souls to give good fun light and reality been covered with a black cloud of degeneracy disrespect etc to be a demoted demoralized unappreciated people on the planet. This is why I do my video venting testimony in a harsh manner bcuz I want ppl to hear and see the damage it does to people that's quiet and submissive yet buried under illusions things that appear what it's not. We been quiet too long hurting. So I speak rant on my video diaries to HEAR THE SOUL of how detrimental it is when we don't be strong to say ENOUGH or to say NO or to say IM LEAVING when things and people work against us to settle for less worth of our selves when we KNOW we the piece they need to make them great or to help them be great too. No more gaslighting users and abusers. We did the anguish against our women and each other it's time we become sisters mothers and nurturers together to one another. We have new babies with souls coming through who they gonna turn to if we don't be seen and available just watching them run into a pit of deceit like we did. We gotta stop this or be a better example and not be AFRAID TO SHOW IT SPEAK IT BUT CHANGE AND GET RID OF THE BS.If not it's just another rodeo in hell which means this plane of existence we're in will never be great revealing it's all an illusion in a sinister world god warn us about. can't serve and mix two worlds and can't trespass others who made their choices. Trespassing, threats of theft killing destroying and bullying against ones will was and is a MAJOR problem in humanity. Imbalances need to be balanced ⚖️
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Yes put the Respect on this 👸🏾name❣ Taraji make us relate 2 all of her characters because she neva fails 2give us her Authentic BLACKGIRL Self 1st🖤 #AppointedVessel🙏🏽 #MasterOfArt💎 #MasterOfHerCraft🔥 #BlessingsOnBlessings2ThisCasts&Project🙏🏽 This was a TarajiPHenson MasterClass, ThankU❣
1/2: Henson might not want to mention her early 2018 release “Proud Mary” when making the case for her deserving a raise. That movie, which she says here marked the last time she’s received a raise, underperformed at the box office. It had a budget of $14M and made around $21.75M internationally, which was a little more than 1.5x the budget. A film is usually considered profitable if it earns at least 3x, or at the very least 2.5x, the amount to make it. That’s because of the money spent promoting the finished product and other post-production costs. I’d suggest that Henson use “What Men Want,” which came out the following year, as an example of her marketability. She was the lead and carried the film, which made FOUR TIMES its budget in box-office receipts. If she does bring up “Proud Mary” when explaining why she believes she deserves higher salaries, I think she should be sure to point out her rebound from that financial disappointment. “What Men Want” showed that she can draw a substantial audience to theaters.
I embody that same energy. I believe in giving. I believe in being the blessing. That is one characteristic the entire human race needs to embrace. Embrace being a blessing regardless of your profession. Watch how God will bless you for being a blessing. If you don't embody this aspect in your life, I pray an Angel will grab and whisper a prayer in your heart & soul. I want all to be bless to return to home to Heaven.
I think the innocence she doesn't see anymore comes from the fact that all those so called strong women disciplining other ppls kids in various black communities with single parents are burnt out. Their children grow up to resent that lifestyle (especially the boys) and recognize how toxic and shameful some of that child abuse was That's what she is seeing and that's what she should see being in these streets and at HU with the she care pods 👌🏾🤍💙❤️👑🏁 I'm SO proud of the work she and her foundation team are doing!!!!
It's time that Taraji P. Henson receive her due. She has demonstrated excellence and integrity in her field for over 20 years. It's time for the industry to recognize her worth. She's been undervalued for far too long.
👏🏽👏🏽 Yes! Her interview on Sirius XM with Gayle King is powerful and she literally said what you said! You should watch it. This came up right after I’m so glad. This was beautiful ❤
It’s not time for HER to receive her due. It was time YEARS ago. The issue is that it’s time for racial and gender discrimination within the industry to end.
Excellent host. Excellent questions. Immaculate vibes, and I'm so grateful that Taraji was given the genuine freedom to shine as authentic and brilliantly as she does. This was uber inspirational!👏🏾
She is so honest. The narrative of someone coming to Hollywood with 700 dollars is often told but most people want to act as if they succeeded without any help. She listed those that helped her because you don’t achieve the kind of success she’s had alone. Does not mean she wasn’t brave. That was a massive risk and she is incredible. She was able to find an agent through others but she got her jobs alone. But support is so crucial. So glad she is so honest and pulls back the curtain
I honor Tariji. She kept it so real about her journey without playing the victim, is confident (rightfully so and has many things to be proud of) but I truly respect her honesty esp about almost having to walk away from Color Purple, the most current film she’s in. She’s talented, funny and smart. She deserves her flowers.
This was such an amazing interview! From the audience, to the interviewer and of course Taraji! I am so grateful we have gotten to witness her journey! She have truly been a gift to us! Now I'm about to go re-watch Empire and her entire catalog 😂😂😂
I love her so much. She deserved an award for Hidden Figures. She is every black lady, beautiful, bold, passionate. Also using her platform for good for everyone else.
In this interview, I see Taraji as a teacher, an advocate for social change,,a wise women, as an actor who is true to her craft and not she is not no fake celebrity. she has a good sense of humor, but she also takes no shit. Ms Henson, from this post. I’m sending you lots of positive energy. ,
Angelique Jackson is such an amazing journalist! Her questions are so organic & authentically curious. I love this interview!! I've only seen Taraji as the great actor she is, so it was awesome to see HER live & in her regal self!!!! Beautiful QUEEN!!!❤❤❤❤
This interview was so comforting to watch. She’s just like all of us and to see how down to earth she is, I love that she’s exactly who she is and true to herself! She definitely deserves her flowers 💐
Taraji P. Henson deserved -an Oscar nomination for Hustle & Flow -an Oscar win for Benjamin Button -an Oscar nod in lead for Hidden Figures -6 Emmy nods & 2 wins for Empire -5-10M salaries for leads in studio films. This season she deserves her 1st Emmy & Oscar consideration.
Taraji P Henson is a great storyteller & exceptional human being. I didnt expect to ride the emotions, laugh, and cry while watching this interview, but great interviews will do that. This is one. Thank you for sharing your platform with Taraji P Henson.
She should truly consider doing the "Cookie Lyon" Spin off, it will be a sucess 😍🥰 Empire would not be as Big if it wasn't for her portraying Cookie Lyon I truly believe that !
Taraji P Henson is an absolute gem. Her resume and dedication to her craft is laudable. She should be paid. I hope she has a team that’s fighting for her much deserved shine!
It's weird, one time she almost "bragged" that she "always worked", I'm glad she came to her senses. Fame is a roller coaster honey, highs and lot of lows...
i’m giving my opinion about the Question to Taraji about identifying her voice through the Women roll plays (as an Actress/Entertaining Professional) she’s performed. i feel that she’s A Woman Phenomenal….as A Phenomenal Woman she is…… Peace…
WHAT A QUEEN. WHAT A LIVING LEGEND. Her grace, the humility, the gratitude. I feel honored to have seen this conversation. And ABSOLUTELY Taraji deserved and deserves so much more. And it will come, this is just the new beginning. And Angelique giving her flowers, just beautiful ❤
1:18:16 God, this is so so so important. As someone who has only experienced the opposite of this when talked about by their parents, it is really tough. You can only ask them so many times to speak positively about you or have faith in you and your siblings. God bless anyone else who is feeling this way.
She’s a Virgo. It’s in our spirit to give and protect for sure. I know a lot of ppl don’t like astrology but there’s truth to it. Virgos are nurturers so it makes sense how motherly she is. ❤I love her so much. She’s so talented and inspirational! 🎉
I love what she says about being herself but not sleeping on her training. The idea that artists of color are still feeling the need to code-switch in this business is ridiculous. She is brilliant just as she is!

Wait. She was in smart guy??
@@ChelleInTheCity I watched that show all the time and never saw that woman. To my knowledge, “Baby Boy” was her first role.
This was not long enough, but enjoyable!! She's very talented!!! CONGRATS Taraji!!!!!!! Thanks SAG-AFTRA!!
Damn great interview. Kudos.❤
Speaking from an African living in Europe: we love her over here. Every black person knows her work and believes in her. They better pay her due !
I side with you, please.
I absolutely enjoyed this interview! I understand the struggle as a black woman feeling invisible and unheard. I'm in tears. This year I fell in love with myself. Therefore, I will no longer settle for less! The price went up! I love you Taraji!
Thank ladies , this interview her have helped me especially from 50:00

I would love to see her on Broadway with queen latifah. Maybe a new version of Wicked
Such a bomb personality!!!! Nothing but real you either like or you don't she is just her!!
I want the money that's passed the pockets to the socks!!! LmBo 😆😂😆😂😆 Funny, Taraji!!!
"when i walk in the room im walk in as me ok cause im be me" I felt that 😅😅😅😂😂
When TLC was getting Grammys, they were making $50000 per year. The record company was making millions and millions of dollars.
Love this Alum! Relate to her from head to toe! Tell it like it is! ❤ ✌🏽
Brilliant
Taraji has a sense of humor. 😂
I’m coming to shake shit up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
HU! You Know!
I think the innocence she doesn't see anymore comes from the fact that all those so called strong women disciplining other ppls kids in various black communities with single parents are burnt out. Their children grow up to resent that lifestyle (especially the boys) and recognize how toxic and shameful some of that child abuse was
That's what she is seeing and that's what she should see being in these streets and at HU with the she care pods 👌🏾🤍💙❤️👑🏁
I'm SO proud of the work she and her foundation team are doing!!!!
There is space for me 🤍✨
It's time that Taraji P. Henson receive her due. She has demonstrated excellence and integrity in her field for over 20 years. It's time for the industry to recognize her worth. She's been undervalued for far too long.
👏🏽👏🏽 Yes! Her interview on Sirius XM with Gayle King is powerful and she literally said what you said! You should watch it. This came up right after I’m so glad. This was beautiful ❤
It’s not time for HER to receive her due. It was time YEARS ago. The issue is that it’s time for racial and gender discrimination within the industry to end.
Then yall should’ve went to see proud Mary. And make sure you go see the color purple .
Love you Taraji. You have spoken. God will take over from here.
I’m surprised she didn’t win an Oscar
Excellent host. Excellent questions. Immaculate vibes, and I'm so grateful that Taraji was given the genuine freedom to shine as authentic and brilliantly as she does. This was uber inspirational!👏🏾

Whoever reads this, Give her, her money 💵!!!
She was wonderful in Hidden Figures and Empire!
And baby boy
I honor Tariji. She kept it so real about her journey without playing the victim, is confident (rightfully so and has many things to be proud of) but I truly respect her honesty esp about almost having to walk away from Color Purple, the most current film she’s in.

She is remarkable. ❤
She has inspired me 2024 is my year !!!!

I don't think Taraji is speaking against Oprah. She's more concerned about having to fight for a good pay.
In this interview, I see Taraji as a teacher, an advocate for social change,,a wise women, as an actor who is true to her craft and not she is not no fake celebrity. she has a good sense of humor, but she also takes no shit. Ms Henson, from this post. I’m sending you lots of positive energy.

As im sitting here watching this interview it just reminds me of why she's my FAVORITE ACTOR
Everyody knows Tara I is my favourite actor by me being bipolar and special ed. I feel Oprah. Done her wrong
She's so sweet and loving❤

Can someone tell me where her coat is from
Much respect, Taraji P.
45:00 the part that you clicked for
Taraji is a phenomenal woman!
I feel bad about her situation. Empathy is something we all need. When Monique said what she said Nobody agreed yet it was an obvious Truth.
This was a celebration 🥳
