Henson has never been afraid to say exactly who she is, a quality she’s carrying into her Broadway debut in Joe Turner’s Come and Gone. In this conversation from September 2024, Henson joins Hoda to talk about the power of using her voice, taking care of her mental health, and fighting for what she deserves after years of overcoming doubt and dismissal.
