MAGAZINE COVER: Taraji P. Henson Gets On Rolling Out Magazine




 Taraji P. Henson covers this week’s Rolling Out Magazine issue. The No Good Deeds (that she’s also executive producing) & Empire starr dressed in a two-piece Marissa Webb number paired with Marissa Webb black and gold metallic tipped pumps. She chatted it up with the magazine about defying all the odds and accomplishing what no other woman in her family has ever been able to do. She also dished on when she finally decided to get with her acting and the moment she realized she could actually make it Hollywood.



Here are the highlights:
On building her empire:
“Everything that I’ve worked for … I have built an empire in one generation. My son [Marcel] does not remember the bad times. I preach to him that he should protect it as well. I’ve done what my mother wasn’t able to do or her mother. That’s pretty huge. I emphasize him protecting it as well, with social media, [telling him to] be careful what you put out there. They are going to try to get to me through you,” she explains.
On when she started to take acting seriously: 
“My whole life, I performed in front of anybody who’d listen. I got serious about it when I saw my Howard University colleagues make it. I would attend the movies and ask, ‘Is that Paula Jai Parker?’ ‘Is that Anthony Anderson?’ I realized I could do this and really make money. Even though I studied it, it seemed so far removed and I wondered if I’d be a starving theater actress.”
“We have great people to look up to; alumnae Lynn Whitfield, Debbie Allen and Phylicia Rashad. I went into the program with a lot hope. It was when I saw my actual peers book jobs, I told myself, ‘I can do this!’ It’s when I got really serious about it.”
