Renowned actor Taraji P. Henson is set to be honored with an honorary AARP Award for her exceptional work in eradicating the stigma surrounding mental health within marginalized communities. The award, presented by the AARP Purpose Prize, will be bestowed upon Henson during a ceremony on October 1 in Washington, D.C.
Henson's commendable efforts stem from her foundation, the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation, established in honor of her father. The foundation, launched in 2018, aims to provide mental health resources and support to marginalized communities, encouraging individuals to seek help without fear or shame.
