The incomparable Taraji P. Henson joins BET Talks for a powerful, unfiltered conversation with Miabelle, opening up about the next chapter of her journey with purpose, power, and peace. From the laughs of a playful This or That icebreaker to the lessons behind building her own empire, Taraji keeps it all the way real. 

She dives into her partnership with Seven Daughters Wine, the passion behind reacquiring TPH, and what it truly means to speak your truth so others don’t feel alone. With raw honesty, she shares why she took a step back from Hollywood to create safe spaces for women, how she’s embracing life unapologetically at 50, and even teases what’s next — including “Why Did I Get Married 3” and returning to Broadway. 

From Howard University to Hollywood and back to the stage, Taraji’s story is full of full-circle moments, intention, and inspiration.

Tune in for laughter, lessons, and the kind of truth only Taraji can deliver — only on BET Talks.
