Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle的动态

We are beyond elated to finally announce our keynote speaker for the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle’s 23rd Annual Breakfast: ‘Era of Essential Service’! This year’s keynote is Academy award nominated, Emmy nominated, and Golden Globe-winning actor, filmmaker, and activist: Taraji P. Henson! ?? Henson quickly rose to fame after her breakout performance in the critically acclaimed 2005 film ‘Hustle & Flow’. Following an impressive accumulation of acting credits in films, TV and more, Henson wrapped her iconic run as “Cookie Lyon” in Fox’s hit musical drama ‘Empire’ in 2020, which has earned her three Emmy nominations, a Golden Globe award, a Critics Choice award, and three BET awards. While many regard Henson as an accomplished actor, she is also a chart-topping author and seasoned community philanthropist. In October 2016, Henson released her New York Times bestselling novel “Around The Way Girl,” a memoir about her family and friends, her determination to make it to Hollywood, and the importance of living your own truth. Henson, along with her best friend and foundation partner, Tracie Jade, recently co-hosted the Facebook Watch series on mental health called Peace of Mind with Taraji, for which they received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for “Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host.” We couldn’t have asked for someone who embodies our values and our vision more than Ms. Henson. Our community is eager to welcome her with open arms! Join us for an unforgettable experience on Friday, November 22, 2024 at the Seattle Convention Center Summit! ??? Early Bird Tickets are on sale now thru Friday, September 13 or until sold out!
