[@moniquerh1]

Why am I sitting here crying in the middle of the afternoon over a kitchen?! This was so beautiful & heartwarming!

[@leeleemee]

Monique Harcum You are not alone. I broke down a few times ;P

[@shru1014]

Angie must be an amazing person for a step daughter to do this for her.

[@candacewabbington2687]

That was so Sweet. A child remembers how you treat them.

[@MonicaJNYC]

It's so cool to see someone who loves their stepmom...

[@robertokon7775]

"If you are blessed,you should be a blessing."

[@justbeinghonest4002]

This is what a lot of kids want to do when they grow up. Take care of their parents and give them a better place to live

[@truvico]

Its amzing when she talks about the house and her husband she still says "ours" and "us". Made me cry. Just beautiful.

[@pohanahawaii]

👌 Actually, even before renovation, Taraji's stepmom, Angie, already kept her house so neat and nice! That spoke volumes of her character and living habit.

[@CocoapieRodriguez]

The best part about this video, is Taraji saying "She NEVER treated me like a step daughter" 😍😍😍

[@cocochanel1029]

Taraji's Stepmom must have really been nice to her, for her to do something like that. May GOD continue to bless you.

[@theblackpearl7035]

"She never treated me like a step-daughter ever" May Heavens bless you Taraji for remembering this with your heart

[@sharity3289]

I love her father's metal artwork! He had talent!

[@souflotv]

Why am I a whole grown man over here crying? This is beautiful. A step mom that never made you feel like a step child is a true blessing

[@katoloniable]

Step moms are usually overlooked, what a nice show of gratitude . Bravo Taraji you are a kind beautiful lady.

[@NaturalBeautifulHair]

Finally someone who appreciates a great stepmom. Thank you Taraji!!!! I love you for recognizing your mom...

[@Witchofthewoods.]

It's too bad her dad wasn't around to see this renovation and to also see what has become of his daughter and her success. He'd be very proud. Her stepmother sounds like an amazing woman and moreso like a Mama. Not everyone is so lucky to gain a truly loving stepparent 🙏💞 and blessed with a stepdaughter named Taraji.

[@WGHRN]

Great renovation. What Taraji did for her stepmother was so filled with love and caring.

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

This beautiful woman made a huge impact in Taraji’s life. A child is precious and innocent and when a role model comes in and show love and support it comes back tenfold. What a beautiful story!!

[@harriettholmes539]

😭 Just beautiful from beginning to end. Taraji is beautiful with a beautiful soul.

[@dawuduhaneef2122]

This is a great gesture, I wish more families would be this considerate to their relations. Love you Taraji.

[@Lisa-ir1yb]

I like how the stepmom said what Taraji did for us....not me....but us shows how her husband is still very much in her heart. How sweet. 🥰

[@bestever2682]

Beautiful! I love the relationship she has with her stepmother ❤️

[@leeleemee]

It is so beautiful.

[@miasolis1497]

Stephanie snapped!!! And the energy between Taraji and her stepmom is so pure. She seems so sweet, I’m glad Taraji did this for her! She deserves it

[@elisabos6570]

One of the most beautiful step mother an daughter relationship ever . S M GOT AS GOOD AS SHE GAVE.Two beautiful people.

[@freeandblessed8500]

Even before the makeover, that woman's house was clean like a whistle. That's a beautiful job that was done.

[@Shechatsalot]

It's great to see a stepmom and stepdaughter getting along so well.

[@carolynhinton1041]

I always knew Taraji was special. Her love for her mother gives me a whole new level of respect. God bless you.

[@JShaw2384]

Beautiful, I love Taraji for her spirit and authenticity. She is so genuinely kind❤

[@lise4369]

The cousin is so chill and beautiful.

[@sophia4christ]

What a good thing she was wonderful to her step daughter! See how she turned around and blessed her real good! As we say in Jamaica: "Do good, and good will follow you!"

[@taracherietellz]

Such a small 🌎 I went to Holy Comforter with Taraji in the second grade and worked with Nikki at Brentwood Post Office decades later. ☺

[@joyceguillen3683]

I love what she did for her stepmom. What a blessing.

[@MsMaxinejoy]

Nobody could never tell me anything negative about Taraji! That was so beautiful, so sweet that she looked out for her stepmother!

[@aussieblue07]

I luv Taraji. She is so grounded and caring. Much continued success to her and her family.

[@Thesidsentinel]

As a stepmom to 2 kids and expecting 1, i felt so good to hear her appreciating her stepmom.

[@demetriuswilliams-el8544]

She remined me of my Stepdad, he deserves everything. Love him much. May he rest in peace.

[@ThisIsShumi]

We all need a cousin Nikki in our lives.

[@elenawalker9870]

You rarely heard good things about Stepmothers Taraji definitely loved her.

[@jordyn1978]

I’m I the only one looking at the price tags and gasping like I’m buying it 😂😂

[@marshaglenn2919]

Even the dog loved it. He was walking around so happy 😊 😃

[@KCNwokoye]

Good people attract good people. Taraji's step mom loves her and they love each other so much and you can see it. This is what more people should do. Put love into the universe.

[@bellatrixsrtio3456]

This woman captured my attention the moment I saw her in Person of interest. She is excellent both as an actress and as a person. Taraji you are wonderful and I am very impressed with the reno you did for your stepmother.

[@audreyrussell9847]

THAT WAS TRULY A BLESSING WHAT TARAJI DID. FOR HER STEP MOM

[@lianalonge1984]

Taraji is such a BEAUTIFUL woman both inside and out!🥰 Taraji: “I’m stealing some ideas.” Me: Too late! 😁

[@evwe5386]

Angie: "I'm being a little selfish for 2 weeks" Everyone screaming: "You should!" That's just beautiful

[@SousChef77]

So precious. My Bonus Son is my son....he came as a package deal with his Dad. I don't go for this blood thing....I go for this Love thing.

[@beverlyreese7551]

Taraji girl you had me crying. That was a beautiful thing you did for your step mom.this was so heartfelt❤❤

[@user-qc8wg9uy1d]

This is beautiful to see. I agree with Taraji, it's a blessing to be a blessing. Great job Stephanie and Houzz!

[@karlar8648]

That is a FULL circle of love. Taraji, you're a beautiful spirit. Amen.

[@Msapples234]

...and Stephanie you did an EXCELLENT job!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@saundrabeals4109]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HEART COMING FROM A STEP DAUGHTER.YEEEEESSS LORD JESUS MS.HENSON IS WHAT PAYING IT FORWARD MEANS🙏🙏

[@lynellemurray7491]

They did a tremendous job remodeling Taraji stepmother home it looks very cozy elegant and inviting I wish Taraji dad could have seen the amazing transformation he would have definitely love it for his wife I'm truly happy for Miss Angela she deserves this blessing

[@patriciaharris7172]

She was blessed with a beautiful stepmom, now she's giving some blessings back. Someone must be chopping onions cause I'm crying! ❤️💓

[@ms.shawniepea8494]

This is so inspirational. I have heard horror stories about stepmothers and have witnessed those horror stories. The fact that Taraji can say so many good things about her stepmothers just speaks volumes to her stepmother's character.

[@rayburton4867]

She has so much class! I’ll gladly support all her future endeavors!

[@rhondaingram4837]

Taraji is the best. Period. Love her. 🥰🥰🥰

[@larrymyers5989]

I love Taraji P Henson. She’s like your favorite sister or a good friend.

[@newnana9070]

Two Moms!! Twice Blessed! Some people don’t even have a half of one Mom!

[@laurashaircreations]

Taraji P. you are so blessed to have a family that truly loves and cares for you. What you have done was truly a blessing to your mom. You touched her heart, I felt her emotions over here in Delaware. Houzz has done a beautiful job of opening up the living space. All of the decore has come together magnificently. Taraji P. Thank You for sharing the LOVE you have for your stepmom. Your father is looking down on you with his true blessing, knowing that he has raised and taught his daughter very well.

[@kimsims9293]

I pinched some big ole tears watching this . what a sweet thing to do. I absolutely love the words Taraji's dad left to her. " If you have been blessed, it is your duty to go out in the world and be a blessing "

[@aishasaydikhann3658]

I watched this in Nov2019😫❤️😭 It hits me when she says she never treated like a stepdaughter... Children never forgets

[@BFFiong]

Lmbo! Nikki is so cute! "you know I've been going around to everyone's house talking about sophets" 😂😂😂

[@melissadye1618]

That is wonderful what she did for her stepmother 🥰. You can tell they both love one another. 💞

[@shirleyrobinson1494]

Good Job Taraji, that's what family is for, love & enjoyment.

[@shirleyrodrigues7119]

Taraji ... First i was ur fan.... Now a bigger fan!!! Respect... Stay blessed always🙏

[@HaikuCreations]

This episode has me crying. The ability to give back to someone that has been a loving mother to you is one of the greatest joys. I hope to be able to do this for my mom one day. The design after the renovation was so extremely beautiful.

[@MsMudder55]

I am so overjoyed with the love Taraji showed her stepmother, what a powerful statement that shows her heart! Love ❤️ you young lady!

[@progresstv236]

Taraji- “I was a waitress before I became an actress”

[@mhagan8475]

When you show kindness God does not forget and He will bless you in return!!!

[@sherimae5029]

Omg I knew I loved Taraji as an Actress but now... she's my Shero! So kind, genuine, loyal, caring but most admirably ... HUMBLE! That's the stuff Legends are made of!!! Beautiful story! Thanks so much for opening up a piece of your wonderful family life with your fans! ❤️🙏🏼✌🏼

[@SashaSpeaks]

I pray God will bless me with health and strength to be able to bless my mommy like this ❤️ blessings Taraji

[@sisdrkl]

I'm watching this and crying during a global pandemic, more than a year after you gave this double gift (to your mom & to us). Crying tears of joy for your mom's solitude sanctified by your showers of blessing throughout her 'new' home, and crying in hopes that she'll be able to cook for large family gatherings again soon. How I long to spend Thanksgiving with my sisters! How I wish love and closeness for everyone in this currently socially distanced world. May God continue to bless you, Ms. Henson, and all our families for generations to come!

[@carlitabonita]

I just adore Taraji! Great episode! My number one goal in life is to get to a place where I can buy my mother her dream home! I'm speaking it into existence!

[@incrediblycomfy]

Nikki's reaction to 'soffit' had me in stitches 🤣🤣🤣

[@Fatboy-dt8bf]

I always loved Taraji!! So cool and so warm as a person. What a wonderful gift she gave her stepmom!! ❤️

[@kpire6066]

Lovely. His table has a lovely space to shine. You know he's loving that! ❤🎉

[@nanettewhite8269]

When you take care of your parents and your step parents God will bless you tenfold

[@royaldiadem762]

Ooooooo this had me smiling and crying all at the same time! Lawwwddd! This was so beautiful!😭😭😭😭😭

[@nateisha-lashayhoward872]

I always loved Taraji as an actress. To see her in the real world just make me proud of her even the more. This video had me in tears. She put a bigger smile on her stepmothers’face just like I do my mom. You rock! To me you will always be cookie lol. Hopefully I will meet you in person one day. God Bless you!

[@katmckeown5982]

I'm so glad that this randomly came up on KZbin. I love watching people spreading the love and sharing their blessings. Pure joy.

[@brooksbaby35]

She is one of my fav actresses! Classy Beautiful...love to see this side of her

[@THALOOTI]

“If you have been blessed. Then it is your duty to go into the world and be a blessing”

[@deidrescurry4525]

I never get tired of watching this and continue to cry as if I was there...love the blessing and love the family pride!!!! I love Houzz as well, always looking for inspiration...maybe I will reach out when I get ready to remodel my kitchen. This has given me more ideas. As we are blessed, we should ALWAYS strive to bless others!!!!! Wonderful job Taraji Henson:):)

[@anniecielto6858]

This is so beautiful. Gratitude is everything. God bless your heart Taraji🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kekekeke4837]

taraji's heart is made of diamonds & golds😊

[@jaybird1301]

That’s Deep! She has never treated me like a step-child! I know that feeling my step-mom is such a awesome person, I call her momma...

[@larhondaparker7412]

My take away is Angie’s tip on putting the greens in the oven instead of on top of the stove.

[@1amazingj]

Taraji is Absolutely Wonderful! I Love how she said "She never treated me like a Step Daughter & i Love Her.

[@POV00005]

My stepmother is a Jewel. She has a heart of gold, always giving and putting others before herself. I love her endlessly. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@inquisitiveone3579]

The pink theme is so fresh and pretty. The house looks beautiful. Now stop making me cry!

[@ethelmath]

May God bless Taraji more she is such a blessing. I'm watching this in July 2020.

[@cabaagepatch3961]

This is my second time watching this. I love Taraji! Angie you deserve this and moreover! I wish I could be invited over for a family meal. This whole reconstruction/ renewal has me in tears. I loved Taraji’s cousin as well! You all are awesome! God is good.

[@HoneyBee4163]

It wasn't overly done. It appears that real people live there. Wow...her dad was a really good artist.

[@archieonegal]

That was beautiful not everyone remembers where they came from. May God continue to bless Taraji and her family.

[@clemyt3065]

I always skipped this in my timeline, but today I am happy I clicked! I'm over here crying like it was my house. Whew. Beautiful!

[@Tiffanygarris]

Everything about this gave me the feels 🥰 but can we just talk about how flawless Taraji is and how much joy and love and energy she exudes, not to mention the rest of her family! I’ve never seen her in anything I didn’t love 💕

[@owa001]

Taraji is a beautiful person inside and out....I can tell!!

[@swatson108]

I'm not crying! You're crying!😭😍

[@ceceliajohnson66]

I literally just woke up and started to watch this video. I just love her great fullness and appreciation towards her stepmom. May God bless her 🙏🙏💓

[@christineo8510]

I love watching their interaction and bond! That's a true mother and daughter connection!! This is amazing surprise for her stepmom!!! A true blessing!!!!
