Marcell Johnson Father
Johnson was raised by a single mother. His Tarahi P Henson explains in details how her ex-boyfriend and her son’s father was tragically murdered in 2003. His dad was murdered when Marcell was 9,” Taraji says of her son. “He’s had to deal with life in a way that a lot of young kids haven’t yet.” And although she and Johnson were no longer together when he was killed, “we would sit and weep about it,” Taraji reveals. “Do I mourn for him? Absolutely. I wish my son had his dad. But sometimes things line up and they have to happen and we don’t know why.”
Taraji was pursuing her acting career at the time, but times were still hard for her as a struggling actress and single mother. She was on welfare and lived in a poorer section of town, where she often worried about being recognized (from her acting roles) by her neighbors.
Now Taraji obviously found a way to keep her game face on, and just like “Cookie Lyon” Taraji P. pulled it together for the sake of her son and is now winning! Her journey didn’t come without extreme pain and struggles, but her story is inspiring and we tip our hat to Taraji for her resilience. It’s just like the old school saying goes ‘Where there is a will, there is a way.’
