Taraji P. Henson is hot on the promo trail for her memoir “Around The Way Girl,” making stops on daytime and late night TV. Get her designer deets and find out everything she dished on when you go inside….
From the bottom...to the top! Taraji P. Henson doesn’t have any plans to stop.
The “Empire” star is currently making media rounds to promote her recently released memoir Around The Way Girl. The 46-year-old stunna wowed on “Good Morning America” in a bold printed Bibhu Mohapatra dress. Lace, floral designs, and leather detailing and black knee high boots rounded out the look.
The Golden Globe winner chatted with “GMA” host Robin Roberts about how her dad inspired her Cookie Lyon’s persona on the FOX series. She said people think she pulled inspiration for Cookie from a woman, but in actuality she got her inspiration from her dad. He’s the “tell like it is” type and lives his true self. And she said if more people were living in their truth and being their authentic selves, the world would be a much better place.
