Taraji P. Henson mini-bio: Henson was born in Washington, DC. Henson's first and middle names are of Swahili origin, meaning "hope" and "love", respectively. She is a relative of Matthew Henson, co-discoverer of the North Pole.[1] Henson, who worked as a cruise ship entertainer and at the Pentagon before becoming an actress, holds a degree in theater arts from Howard University. Henson made her singing debut in Hustle & Flow; she provided the vocals for the Three 6 Mafia track "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp". The song won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2006, giving Three 6 the distinction of becoming the first Black hip-hop act to win in the category.

Hey Girl,

You are the bomb! I knew you had to be from the S to E way back when you starred in Baby Boy. We actually attended the same junior high school. I admire your work. Oh yeah, we are Virgos.
