Published on Jan 31, 2024
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.
