Piecing together Taraji and Mary... Also Pics from Emmys After Party

Were you aware that Mary J. Blige and Taraji P. Hensen were close? I remember the Beats commercial featuring the two women and Kerry Washington and I thought "that's cute they're industry friends" but I think they have moved beyond friends within the industry to real friends. I could tell when I saw the picture of Taraji and Angie Martinez of NYC radio, embracing at the Celebrate the Culture Emmys after party.

Taraji seems like "good people" and that is hard to find these days and you don't even need to be in Hollywood to say that. People are so disingenuous and when I saw the embrace of Angie Martinez I knew that connection was through Mary because Angie and Mary have long been extremely close. Angie has shared multiple stories about Mary and their closeness throughout the years. Still as of late I've been witnessing people share how Taraji has been true to them and supportive. Jason Bolden of the Netflix show "Styling Hollywood" tells of his introduction into the industry as being Taraji's stylist. She was the catalyst for his success as well. Got to salute her on her realness and authenticity!

Connecting the dots between Mary J Blige and Taraji.
