Taraji P. Henson Talks Equal Pay In Hollywood

Crystal + Lucy Awards 2016: Dana Walden presents The Lucy Award to Taraji P. Henson. “If I do just as good a job as men, why shouldn’t I get paid the same?” Is it because I don’t have a penis? In this day and age I can attach one. I have penises in many different colors at home.” -Taraji Women In Film is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting equal opportunities for women, encouraging creative projects by women, and expanding and enhancing portrayals of women in all forms of global media.
