Recently, Taraji P. Henson was listed by TIME 100 as one of the most influential people, and Mary J. Blige definitely agrees.
Mary said, “What I love most about her is that she is unapologetically herself. Taraji is a real woman — she doesn’t bite her tongue, and she’s not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. She’s always true and authentic.”
She continued, “Watching her commit 1 million percent to whatever character she’s portraying is amazing. Her courage really sets her apart, in Hollywood and in real life.”
She added, “She was an actor I loved to watch, and I always felt like I could relate to her because she perfectly embodied who we are as women.”
