You Are The Prize | Taraji P. Henson on Street You Grew Up On

Video Description

On this episode of Street You Grew Up On, Kerry is joined by the talented actress, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate, Taraji P. Henson. Hailing from the Southeast Side of Washington D.C, the two look back on her life growing up in an inner city where, despite any issues that may have plagued her community, she was raised in a loving and happy environment that encouraged her imagination to be anything she wanted to be. That curiosity not only led her into acting, but also into Black hair care, as well as Black mental health awareness. She now has her own hair care line TPH by TARAJI in stores at Walmart and a non-profit organization called the Brois Lawrence Henson Foundation that’s dedicated to creating innovative healing approaches in Black communities.
