The trailer for season 2 of a Golden Globe-winning actress’ soul-stirring Facebook watch show is here and it’s packed with celebs baring all.

“Peace Of Mind With Taraji” will premiere next week and Taraji P. Henson and co-host Tracie Jade are continuing to shine a spotlight on the challenging mental health issues facing us today – particularly those in the Black community.

As previously reported Taraji and Tracie will sit down for “powerful and revealing” discussions with celebrity guests and everyday people about the mental health issues that have impacted their lives, to help eliminate the stigma of mental health issues. They will then delve deeper into the experiences with licensed therapists, and reveal their own stories related to the topics in an effort to provide the community with useful tools and techniques to help manage the specific mental health issues.

On season two, we see stars like Karl-Anthony Towns join the discussion and the Minnesota Timberwolves player’s story is especially heartbreaking. Back in January, KAT revealed that he tested positive for COVID and he was especially nervous about his diagnosis considering that he lost seven family members, including his mother Jacqueline Towns, to the virus.

Taraji thought that number of lost family members was still seven, but Karl-Anthony Towns revealed that sadly, it was actually eight.

“Did you ever breathe?” Taraji asked Karl-Anthony. “You lost seven family members…”

“Eight,” said the basketball player.
