Taraji P. Henson to host a mental health talk show on Facebook Watch

Deadline

The Empire alum's talk show, tentatively titled Peace of Mind with Taraji, will provide support, bring awareness and help eliminate the stigmas of mental health issues with the help of co-host Trace Jade Jenkins, executive director of the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation. “I’ve long been a mental health advocate for the Black community and created the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation in 2018 that has provided resources to thousands of people who are struggling,” said Henson. “I’m looking forward to bringing this new talk series to Facebook Watch, where I can continue to create conversation around an issue that is near and dear to my heart.” The Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation is named after Henson's dad, who struggled with mental illness after serving in the Vietnam War.
