Taraji P. Henson

TPH Entertainment

In October 2016, Henson released her New York Times bestselling novel “Around The Way Girl,” a memoir about her family and friends, her determination to make it to Hollywood and the importance of living your own truth. In Fall of 2018, she launched the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation in honor of her late father. The organization will provide scholarships to African-American students majoring in mental health, offer mental health services to youth in urban schools and work to lower the recidivism rates of African-American men and women. Henson, along with her best friend and foundation partner, Tracie Jenkins, is currently co-hosting the Facebook Watch series PEACE OF MIND WITH TARAJI, which focuses on mental health issues. In early 2020, she launched her own haircare line, TPH by Taraji, which is exclusively sold at Target.
