<\/a><\/p>\n As she’s sporting that intense gaze we’ve come to know and love, one look at Taraji P. Henson<\/strong> on the cover of the November ESSENCE<\/strong> will ensnare you. In a form-fitting black Fausto Puglisi dress with amazing beading and slits that serve legs for days, she is a queen looking upon her loyal subjects. It’s a kingdom she’s worked years to acquire and continues to tirelessly show up for.<\/p>\n “I’m just gonna keep amassing an audience,” says the Oscar- and Emmy-nominated actress. “Everything was strategically planned. This is what all my efforts are for.<\/span>“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In the\u00a0cover story, Henson peppers in wisdom and joy with healthy doses of sister-girl talk. And while she is killing it with the high fashion and fierce face on magazine covers and on the talkshow\/awards show circuit, one thing the classically trained actress never forgets is the importance of taking the business of acting seriously.<\/p>\n “These kids are thinking they can do reality TV and come and do this craft that I studied, sweated and grinded,” says Henson. “People forget it’s a craft because it’s so pop now…Can they make me believe the words coming out of their mouth?”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Also check out four newly released photos from her shoot for CR Fashion Book.<\/p>\n
