Taraji P. Henson’s career continues to surge now that “Empire” is a certified hit, and now the actress hopes to find the same success as an author.
Page Six writes:
The Oscar-nominated actress, who stars as Cookie Lyon in the Fox series “Empire,” has a deal with the Simon & Schuster imprint 37 Ink. The publisher told The Associated Press on Thursday that the book is currently untitled with a planned mid-2016 release.
Henson, 44, will write about her childhood in a rough Washington, DC neighborhood, being a single parent and her film and TV roles.
Congratulations to Taraji.
Bae.
Hearing her story about trying to get her degree while pregnant, and then being a single mother in college was truly inspiring. This is definitely a book I’ll be buying. So happy she’s finally getting her accolades!
Love me some Taraji and I will be buying the book.
Well you gotta get the money while you’re on top.
She is on a hot streak right now and I’m happy for her.
I will buy it because I know she’s had a very interesting life.
I’m really happy to see her doing well. She’s so talented and real.
Get money!
And she’s doing SNL this weekend. Look at God.
I just learned today that Taraji’s son’s father and grandfather were murdered.
