Few entertainers in Hollywood shine as brightly—and consistently—as Taraji P. Henson. With a career spanning over two decades, Taraji has carved out a space in film, television, and culture that is uniquely her own. She’s bold, outspoken, brilliantly talented, and unapologetically authentic. Whether she’s bringing powerhouse characters to life or using her platform for advocacy, Taraji P. Henson is more than just an actress—she’s a movement.

The Rise of a Queen

Taraji first captured mainstream attention with her Oscar-nominated role as Shug in Hustle & Flow (2005), but her breakthrough performance came with the 2008 drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, where she starred opposite Brad Pitt. Since then, she has brought unforgettable roles to life—from the sharp-tongued yet fiercely protective Cookie Lyon in Empire to real-life NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson in Hidden Figures.

She’s proven time and again that she can do it all: drama, comedy, action, voice acting—you name it. Beyond her acting skills, it’s her unfiltered honesty and realness off-screen that have earned her a loyal and passionate fanbase.

More Than an Actress

Taraji is also an advocate for mental health awareness in the Black community. Through her Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation—named after her late father—she’s made it her mission to break the stigma around therapy and emotional well-being. She’s also a best-selling author with her memoir Around the Way Girl, offering fans a raw and inspiring look at her journey through life and Hollywood.

In recent years, she’s ventured into directing, producing, and launching businesses, proving that she’s as savvy as she is soulful.
