Who else came straight here after watching mo’nique’s interview on Shay Shay
-
I appreciate her realness and her breaking it down about this black actress industry
-
All I heard the director say is “we may not pay you what you’re worth but at least your work will inspire people throughout the nation” which is proving her point. Taraji KNOWS she can inspire people, hell. Look at all of years of experience she has. She should be paid based off of her VALUE. Giving her flowers does not pay the bills!
-
I believe that Taraji is very courageous for speaking up about fair pay for all black women - not just in show business, but in the work industry. I hope that we get our proper recognition and pay. All the best.
-
Monique was 💯% correct when she decided to speak on this issue...💪🏽
-
Everyone should listen to this woman's message. We all feel the pain of what Taraji is saying. I work in corporate America and in a field where not many people look like me. I felt the strain in her voice, the exhaustion! I have to mentally prepare myself each day to deal with the mess.

Who's here after that interview with Mo~nique in club Shay Shay
-
We see you Taraji from Nigeria. And we love you
-
Thank you, Taraji, for keeping it real. Everybody sees the glitz and glamour, and wants the same thing, too, without knowing the whole truth. Be encouraged, Sis.
-
When Mo'Nique was out there saying the EXACT SAME THING all the black women should have rallied behind her. They let her stand out there on her own and look crazy. Also take your own money and write and produce your OWN stuff.
-
When Mo spoke out she was immediately labeled as "hard to work with", "a loud mouth", always complaining! And that was by our own people! When you are a pioneer you have to be tough skinned but we are all human and 20+ years in the game is tough but that is what America has done to OUR generational wealth! I love your work Taraji!! Any movie you are in I immediately watch it! Love Viola and Angela Bassett! Y'all are #1 in my eyesight!
-
This isn't a "rich people problems" issue. This is a Global issue for black women-especially in the states. You know your worth, you know your talent, you know your skill. Yet your counterparts and those who haven't put in nearly as much work and experience as you, walk through the door brand new. I definitely can relate.
-
I can’t even afford to go to a movie. Yet yes, I completely understand how it feels to be undervalued, unseen, and not appreciated. Love you Taraji.
-
Please Taraji don't let the industry break you. I definitely feel you. Stay strong sis. I hope you don't quit we love you so much.
-
Taraji deserves whatever she ask for. She has proven herself time and time again and she shows up and shows out EVERYTIME‼️💯
-
I cried with her as she shed those tears as I am an African American Woman who has been in corporate America for 30 years being significantly underpaid in comparison to my white counterparts. During this time of extreme inflation and a single mother to a special needs child, this topic is beyond personal and deeply painful. When does it end or will it ever? Nevertheless, fight we must😢
-
I feel her. I think showing sadness vs anger is really powerful.
-
That “I’m just tired” broke my heart. I feel her sentiments. I hopes she find peace with the industry. It isn’t for the faint of heart.❤️
-
Ms. Taraji P. Henson, you have always been that woman for US. You look, talk, express, represent, exalt, relate, and beautify US! Thank you, queen!
-
I watch Taraji's movies in India and love her each time. She shouldn't cry, she is blessed with our admiration.
