At 56, Taraji P. Henson Finally REVEALS What We All Suspected

At 56, Taraji P. Henson Finally REVEALS What We All Suspected The little girl who grew up in an apartment “one step above the slums” in Washington, D.C., who watched her mother get robbed right in front of her eyes when she was only seven years old, became an Oscar-nominated actress and Golden Globe winner. But Taraji P. Henson’s rise came at a steep price. She discovered that acting was the only way to escape the pain. Yet every time she broke through a barrier in Hollywood, she was dragged back to the starting line when it came time to negotiate her salary. She called that battle exhausting and once broke down crying on live television because she was paid pennies after thirty years of dedication. The woman who made millions of viewers admire her admitted that she once lay in the dark, imagining a gun, and knew that if she didn’t speak up, that thought would become reality. Now at age 56, she reveals how a childhood full of trauma and successive losses shaped everything. The woman whose name means Hope finally found her voice to tell her story. #celebrity #Celebritystories
