- 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.

Tell us about your hair care journey! 💆🏾♀
I wear my hair in a short natural cut now but throughout my life I've worn press n curl, cornrows, braids, relaxers. I feel very free wearing my natural hair now.
Idk if guys can contribute but… I used to cut my hair very short but now I like to let it grow out into a fro since I’ve been grown and only get line ups occasionally.
I have a girl, she is 6 and tenderheaded. When I do her hair, it can take days. i will go so slow. We blow out first to minimize tagling in between detangling. All her styles are part 2's of the previous style because we recycle parts to minimize tension.... basically, our entire journey together is teaching her to love her hair without hurting her. (It's not always a success but it's a work in progress)
Whew. It’s been a journey. I started getting perms for as long as I can remember. I finally decided to go natural in college to really love on myself and my hair. It’s been like almost 8 years and I’m grateful to have found a rhythm and routine with taking care of my hair and growing it. Slowly but surely my hair is healthy, fuller and growing longer. It’s a journey but I love my hair and I’m grateful.
I wear my hair natural- went natural in 2014 ( because I went completely chemical free no relaxers or HAIR DYE I had to embrace my grey/silver) it’s been a long journey
I will forever love Taraji, a true queen. She should have gotten her flowers on Hidden Figures. Also what she is doing for mental health is not appreciated enough.
I agree. That role alone was everything!❤
Benjamin Button was a phenomenal performance also❤
You both are too cute. Stay blessed.
Oh yeah Hidden Figures that girl did it!!
she carried Person of Interest
Taraji please stay walking in your truth. Closed doors only mean they weren’t meant for you. You’re an amazing brilliant black woman. Strong just as God made you. Your life will stay full of opportunities and success. Count on it.❤
Women God is our resource so trust Him, not man. Believe and Receive all doors remain open 2 u by ur Faith in the Lord.
The company you keep is also important because they help you think and make great choices- life and business.
Good morning. I admire both of these women. I can relate. I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland but there were at least 4 generations or more before my time. Only the strong or crazy survived Baltimore but it made me the woman I am today. My church kept me grounded and gave me a scholarship for college. My family came from Cambridge, Maryland and South Baltimore. My dad’s ppl are rural Deep South Carolinians. When blacks were able to moved West, we moved to West Baltimore. Baltimore was so crazy we moved from Gwynn’s Falls, to Dickey Hill and by 1970’s we moved to Northwood. Maryland was so expensive we all lived as an extended family. During the summer if I was not at the Rec’s summer camp, I was sent to Columbia, Maryland, the Carolina’s, and holiday visits to the Maryland Eastern Shore.
@@homodeus8713 so true
I loved this. Two of my favorite Sistas, both multi- gifted beautiful, brave, and outstanding. I love when we love on US❤
Taraji and Kerry please do a movie together
Cookie Lyons and Olivia Pope. So help me Gawd!
Yes💯👌👏❤️
I know right!!!🙏🏾🔥🥰
a two punch combo.. (from "Empire" and "Scandal")
You ladies need to do a project together ❤️
Lol ❤ i thinking about saved the last dance and hair show lol..
Taraji, you dropped some diamonds 💎. "Make them dance for you." "Know your worth." Just WOW! 💯
I Love Parents that keep a watchful eye on their Child
Really enjoyed this program I am a Black girl from SE. Had a mother who made me not limit myself to my neighborhood.
Taraji is so beautiful inside and out❤
Great conversation ladies, Please pay these ladies what they are worth in future movies and tv shows. Taraji is real and she is down to earth and that us rare in a actor. Do no loose her for craziness. It is sad to know that telling the truth can hurt you.
Ms Henson. She should get paid more. She is a great great actress and have been in many wonderful movies.
All black actresses should be getting paid more, Viola dont make what Meryl Streep does and she should.
Kerry has always had this open air to her... that friend in your head vibe and these interviews are so perfect for her way of being. Loved this particular interview!❤
Wow I just watched Earthquake on the Breakfast Club and now Taraji. Both from DC like me. Peace and love.
Two of my fave actresses of the past couple decades
Maybe your next move could be a performing arts school called Dream Academy…..Taraji.😊 Love you and thank you for your transparency. Thank you Kerry for your presence. You are fresh air
Thank you KW for another beautiful conversation. And Taraji for this… “If you have a story to tell, tell it cause someone out there needs to hear it. Someone out there needs to see themselves and needs to know they are not alone” 🌺🌺🌺
SO LOVE SEEING AND HEARING TARAJI SPEAK FOR HERSELF!!! "YOU GOT THIS"!! And I Love Your Hair Products. ❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I loved your enthusiasm and your truth TAraji P. Henson.
Two of some of the best orators and actors. Great interview.
Yay! Taraji! I'm from DC so it's nice to see a DC homie interviewed. Great conversation.
Tariji P. Henson, you are a brilliant actor. You continue to make us proud. Your contribution to the entertainment industry is impeccable. Continue to do what you are doing.
We are proud of you, and may you have many blessings for your continued success and accolades. Always remember that GOD gotcha!
Two Phenomenal actors. Love them both on and off the Screen. ❤
Love watching Taraji, such a great speaker and actress 😍
The authenticity of Taraji P Henson is inspiring
Happy Birthday, in advance Kerry Washington..🎉🎈
So good! What a treat from 2 talented, intelligent women. Thank you Kerry and Taraji. ❤🎉👍🏾
I would love to,see you both in a project together ! Loved this conversation
That would be awesome!!!!!
Thank you Taraji and Kerry! I’ve never laughed and cried so much in such a short period of time… I saw myself in ur story and most of all, I saw my late mother; who was a single child reflected in ur story…
I grew up on Both of these Queens. Kerri is the one who kinda was a foundation for sexy and vulnerability for me. Taraji came up a bit later in my life but made an impact nonetheless. Both are NO small feat! Thank you so much for the talk, convo, and interview! 🤎
Thank you. You both are absolutely beautiful. A great contribution to the black community. I pray that the Lord will continue to make His face shine upon you both. Excellent interview.
Two of my favs!!!! Love this show!!
This one of my favorite episodes- you and your mom is still #1. Taraji is so AMAZING ❤❤❤
Hello Trajia stay with the truth trust God and keep the faith. What God has for no man can take it from you. Don't ever give up believe stay strong and he will not only fight your battles and enemies but you will watch them all fall. Put in God's hand keep your smile and stand still in his word and watch him work. Yes i just commented and mean it and i am going to do and pray other follow. But God didn't tell you to give up and cry he told you that he love❤ you and he die and fought the enemies and and rosed with all power in his hand and gave you enternal life! HALLELUJAH when he rose.you ❤ 🌹

Taraji is so relatable it’s what I love most about her. Thanks for your transparency Taraji. Our childhoods sound very similar. May God continue to bless you. Kerry you’re the best. Great interview.
Thank god, we are learning how to love ourselves again ❤
Livingston Rd. by Southern Ave!!! SOUTHEAST DC STAND UP!!! 💚💚💚
Why doesn't this channel have millions of subs???🤔🤔🤔
I was wondering the same thing!
Because it is too positive and uplifting. Many people today love wild and toxic. Hence the popularity of reality TV 📺
@@texasflower1212 That's a shame. Sad state of affairs.
It was really fun to watch you two have such a fun conversation.
First - Kerry you are such a fantastic host and interviewer. Thanks for sharing your gift. I often use you as an example to my young adult twins. And Taraji, I love you. Everytime I see you I think about who your best friend might be because they are looking to have you as a girl friend. Love how real you are.
Taraji when will you and Terrence Howard do another Christmas special. I loved it.
Tarajj is so cool & down to earth! Good interview.
Outstanding, ladies! Good to see you both laughing and enjoying the conversation. Beautiful!❤
Agree with all these positive comments about Taraji ❤ I like to tell young women 'your mother did a fantastic job 😊
Love these super talented actresses.
I love my black authentic women. Taraji exemplifies a great leader and a humble person. It's great to see growth with these women. I truly enjoyed this segment and I had some great laughs.
This show should also release podcasts of these interviews ❤
She is like our family. She reminds me so much of my family. She represents us so well. We love her.
I just love this woman Taraji I don't know why she's too amazing and brilliant
That’s was great. Well done to by both my girls Kerri and Taraji. Hmmmm, time for you two to do something together. A sister-girl buddy comedy comes to mind :)
Y’all kinda started blowing up around similar times.
I loved Kerry in Save the Last Dance 💃
What a great interview.. Love both of these women!! ❤❤
I love this. Ms. Washington you are a great interviewer. Taraji is a light
This was so much fun to watch!😍😍🤞🏼

Taraji, As Bad is SE was I loved growing up there. Like you and Kerry... I was on the outskirts but right around the corner From Berry Farms. I went to Hart & Ballou Only Taraji would probably get that hood LOL
