Black Celebrity Single Mothers Doing It All

Taraji P. Henson

Taraji P. Henson fell in love with her high school sweetheart. They remained together in their early 20’s and she was a junior in college when she found out she was pregnant. The “Hustle & Flow” star gave birth to her son, Marcel, in 1994 but her son’s father was killed in a car accident when their son was still young. With nothing but $700 to her name, Henson packed up her things and moved to Hollywood with Marcel to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. Her big break came when she landed a role in “Baby Boy” and the rest is history.
