You Are The Prize | Taraji P. Henson on Street You Grew Up On

Tell us about your hair care journey! 💆🏾‍♀

[@SoniT]

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.

[@OvSpP]

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.

[@mistressburns2790]

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)

[@echakamonjok]

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.

[@jaisharp1165]

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

[@dakotac180]

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.

[@Sew-Ronica]

I agree. That role alone was everything!❤

[@Morkiemom53]

Benjamin Button was a phenomenal performance also❤

[@evabrent1096]

You both are too cute. Stay blessed.

[@gwendolyndavid8227]

Oh yeah Hidden Figures that girl did it!!

[@superhetoric]

she carried Person of Interest

[@francesmorgan8919]

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.❤

[@tamaramoore4085]

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.

[@homodeus8713]

The company you keep is also important because they help you think and make great choices- life and business.

[@octaviahicks-braye9859]

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.

[@missea0704]

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.

[@robingirlwonder5067]

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!❤

[@theartistmind7028]

Two of my fave actresses of the past couple decades

[@judybrowdermoss2533]

Ms Henson. She should get paid more. She is a great great actress and have been in many wonderful movies.

[@krimsonedit3272]

All black actresses should be getting paid more, Viola dont make what Meryl Streep does and she should.

[@tawanMuhammad]

Really enjoyed this program I am a Black girl from SE. Had a mother who made me not limit myself to my neighborhood.

[@jodelleferguson5710]

Me too.

[@kimwilliams388]

I loved your enthusiasm and your truth TAraji P. Henson.

[@Lee-dw1ox]

Two of some of the best orators and actors. Great interview.

[@makepeaceu]

[@rellrell9457]

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…

[@shay8966]

Kerry, I just wanna say I love this series so much. You and Taraji are literally my two faves, so when I saw that you two did this together???? I screamed. I love the awareness you bring to our favorites lives because it makes the fans feel seen, connected and appreciated because we can see our stories in you all. Thank you to the both of you; you Kerry for establishing this series, and you Taraji for sharing your story. Love you both DOWN!

[@ItsaSisterhoodThang]

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! 🤎

[@beachlover9705]

I would love to,see you both in a project together ! Loved this conversation

[@ddacoe0]

That would be awesome!!!!!

I NEVER make comments, but I love Taraji. It's almost like we are related. I'm from New Orleans and I live in North Carolina, lol.... I just ordered TPH products on Amazon. Kerry is a fantastic host!

Why doesn't this channel have millions of subs???🤔🤔🤔

[@Tek1014media]

I was wondering the same thing!

[@texasflower1212]

Because it is too positive and uplifting. Many people today love wild and toxic. Hence the popularity of reality TV 📺
