Taraji P. Henson is trending after waxing all sorts of candid about the pay gap she has faced as a Black woman in entertainment.

As reported, the Golden Globe winner didn’t hold back about the issues she’s faced being paid her worth over he decades in the spotlight.

With the masses in deep dialogue about her frankness and the specifics of her remarks, fellow actress Keke Palmer has weighed-in.

Full story below…

Re-sharing a clip of Henson’s now viral interview on Sirius XM, Palmer unpacked her thoughts in earnest.

The media multihyphenate wrote:

“The entertainment industry is just like any other industry. We run businesses to keep our brands afloat, us being the brand/business. And it’s that team of company members that decrease any assumed large lump sum. This includes monthly expenses just like everyone else. In the words of biggie “more money more problems.”

To make money you must spend money so what seems like a lot is taken by a lot. There is still privilege in this depending what vantage point you are seeing from, but in our industry amongst one another this is nuetralized.

This is why no one can really have one job anymore! People working outside of the entertainment industry may do Uber eats, Postmates, accountant part time, substitute teacher every other week etc.

For an entertainment career you may be like me, an actor, influencer, host, singer, speaker etc. I keep a job because I HAVE to haha. We ALL work multiple jobs and we may like some but also because we HAVE to. To be successful and live in America it’s literally this way because of the cash to expense ratio and this is why entrepreneurship is so important but that in itself is expensive! Having one job for anyone is not really an option no matter what industry unless you are like the top top top TOP earner and I mean that’s like Bill Gates and them I suppose. Idk because I can’t relate haha!

I am not complaining or comparing but I acknowledge that we all have similar struggles in our industries and it’s because corporations run everything and they aren’t people.

“America we have a problem” -@beyonce”

With that, what are…
