À propos de cet audio

 2017 Audie Award Finalist for Autobiography/Memoir

From Taraji P. Henson, Academy Award nominee, Golden Globe winner, and star of the award-winning film Hidden Figures and the 2023 film The Color Purple, comes an inspiring and funny memoir—“a bona fide hit” (Essence)—about family, friends, the hustle required to make it in Hollywood, and the joy of living your own truth.

With a sensibility that recalls her beloved screen characters, including Katherine, the NASA mathematician, Yvette, Queenie, Shug, and the iconic Cookie from Empire, Taraji P. Henson writes of her family, the one she was born into and the one she created. She shares stories of her father, a Vietnam vet who was bowed but never broken by life’s challenges, and of her mother who survived violence both at home and on DC’s volatile streets. Here, too, she opens up about her experiences as a single mother, a journey some saw as a burden but which she saw as a gift.

Around the Way Girl is also a classic actor’s memoir in which Taraji reflects on the world-class instruction she received at Howard University and how she chipped away, with one small role after another, at Hollywood’s resistance to give women, particularly women of color, meaty significant roles. With laugh-out-loud humor and candor, she shares the challenges and disappointments of the actor’s journey and shows us that behind the red carpet moments, she is ever authentic. She is at heart just a girl in pursuit of her dreams in this “inspiring account of overcoming adversity and a quest for self-discovery, written with vitality and enthusiasm” (Shelf Awareness).

I'm already an admirer of Taraji and her work but hearing her tell her story let's you get to know and love her on a deeper and more intimate level that is not based solely on just seeing her in a few movies. It was great to hear her talk about embracing her place in life after 40. I can totally relate.

The real Taraji just stood up!

I love how she mentioned emotional character how getting into the character is like getting into life.. hi Jess is that in intensive Actors retreat I couldn’t believe how much is spoke to my heart and my soul emotional exercises basically brought out something that I had buried deep inside and just realized that I was just coping with.. The only emotional connection I had with black men.. The unattachment and images A black manthat my mother had put upon me mentally towards my dad and my brothers.. I never expected something like that to come out at an intensive Actors retreat.. And the one black man that I met that brought and helped me to realize all this and also the healing that transpired

I really loved her performance and acting as she played different characters in her story. She has so many insights and wise words. It was funny, real, raw and authentic. She shared her lessons without telling me what to do. Loved it!

One of the best autobiographies out there

Loved every minute of this book... I felt every word that Taraji spoke.... I felt the love that she had for her father more than any other member that she spoke about.

I love the life lessons that she learnt and has been using to make her a better Taraji.

Job well done Ms. Henson.

Two thumbs up, five stars across the board! #BlackGirlMagicAtItsFinest

I laughed out loud, I felt her pain and was right along for the entire journey. So many truths are spoken, especially when talking about being a single parent. Thank you TPH for your truth.

inspiring and genuine
