Taraji Says Halle Berry Threw Her a Party to Celebrate Her Oscar Nomination!



Halle Berry and Taraji P. Henson prove there is nothing like support from your friends. In a recent social media post, Taraji P. Henson said Berry threw her a Hollywood party when she was nominated for an Oscar. Henson won an Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress in the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in 2009.
Henson's post was in response to Berry's post talking about how much she liked Taraji's natural hair care line TPH by Taraji. She also shared a picture of her hair. In her response, Taraji said, "This QUEEN @halleberry has always been by my side MY ENTIRE career."

In addition to throwing Henson a party, Berry introduced Henson to people in the industry. She said, "I didn't know many [sic] ppl  in the industry at the time and she introduced me to soooo many incredible super stars and heavy hitters [sic]. I was so overwhelmed but grateful!!!"
We love it!







I think Taraji P. Henson is receiving all of the love she has given out plus more! She has been very supportive of her friends and their achievements. One of her most memorable moments was when she shouted and clapped on stage for Regina King when she won an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in American Crime in 2015. She also ran and hugged Viola Davis when she won an Emmy for Lead Actress in How to Get Away with Murder in that same year.





Halle Berry and Taraji P. Henson show how real friends support each other! That's nice to see in a world that tends to portray images of Black women being just the opposite. 
What do you think about Halle Berry's support of Taraji?

Aborigines and Melanesians: Naturally Blonde Hair and Dark Skin

Melanesia: Solomon Island girls (photo courtesy of the -cropped-Flickr- Australian Civil-Military Centre http://www.acmc.gov.au/ ) Naturally blonde hair is often associated with white or Caucasian people. However, there are groups of dark skin people who have naturally blonde hair also. Some of these groups include the Aboriginal Australians (Aborigines) and the Melanesians. I love this fact because it goes against the idea that one group or culture must look a certain way or stay in a certain category.  The Aborigines have dark skin. Some of them also have blonde hair which tends to be straight, but can be curly. Scientists first believed they were descendants of Eurasians. In 2011, scientists found evidence against the theory from a sample of natural hair. The sample of hair, which was said to be more than 100 years old, helped scientists determine that Aborigines were descendants of Africans. The New York Times confirmed this finding: "The Abo...

Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk

1BlessedNatural: Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk (photo cred: CBS/The Talk) Yesterday, comedian and talk show host, Sheryl Underwood wore her natural hair onstage of the talk show, The Talk. She received a round of applause, and Sharon Osbourne commented that her Teenie Weenie Afro (TWA) was gorgeous. Underwood explained to her fellow co-hosts and audience that she'd done something wrong 2 years ago when she spoke against the actions of Heidi Klum for keeping her sons' Afro hair in a bag as a keepsake. She said the hair was "nasty." Underwood received backlash for her words, especially from the Black community. They were viewed as examples of self-hatred among other things. On Monday's episode of The Talk Sheryl Underwood apologized a second time for her 2013 statement by saying this: I made some statements that were not only wrong, they hurt our community. When I say, "our community," I mean Black ...

Priscilla Shirer Shares Her Natural Hair Story and Tips on IG Live!

Actress and minister of Going Beyond Ministries Priscilla Shirer shared her natural hair story and secrets on IG Live today. After receiving numerous questions about her long thick natural hair, she decided it was time to do a video. Shirer said, "I've decided that sometimes, to a woman, hair = ministry." Shirer started getting a perm at about 13 years old. During previous years, her mother would use the hot comb to straighten her hair. When Shirer was 24 years old, she noticed a circular patch of hair that had broken off on the side of her head. After she visited a doctor and they plucked a few strands from different parts of her hair, the doctor concluded that Shirer's hair was growing in healthy. However, it was something that she was doing to her hair that was making it break off. As a result, her doctor told her to stop relaxing her hair for 6 months. While driving home, Shirer had a breakthrough. She originally had no intention of following the doctor...
