Taraji P Henson has opened up about the inequalities facing Black women and women of colour in Hollywood as she urged those affected to “speak up”.
The 54-year-old is known for her diverse performances including as the formidable Cookie Lyon in Empire, for which she won a Golden Globe in 2016, and as nursing home caretaker Queenie in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in 2008, which earned her a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the 2009 Oscars.
