Taraji P. Henson Urges Black Creatives to ‘Keep Telling Your Truth, Because It’s All We Have’
ABFF Honors feted Taraji P. Henson, Jeffrey Wright, Garrett Morris, Mara Brock Akil and Kelvin Harrison Jr. 'American Fiction' won movie of the year.
Since then, Henson was named one of Time’s Women of the Year for speaking that truth and is now filming the Peacock limited series “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist,” with Kevin Hart, Samuel L. Jackson, Terrence Howard and Dexter Darden. On Sunday night, Henson stood before a well-heeled crowd made up mostly of Black creatives to accept ABFF’s excellence in the arts award, presented by her “Baby Boy” co-star Tyrese Gibson. After witnessing Wright get saluted by practically every awards body this season, I’ve come to the conclusion that listening to presenters like Pierce, Leslie Uggams or Colman Domingo wax poetic about him (and watching him absorb their kindness) is almost as incredible as hearing the man speak himself.
