During Taraji P. Henson's most recent episode of Peace of Mind with Taraji, the actress, and her cohost Tracie Jade Jenkins focused on the rampant violence against Black transwomen. In part one of this week’s season finale episodes, the two hosts chat with three Black trans women, Nova, Naki, and Memphis, to discuss their mental health struggles in the face of rampant bigotry and violence within their community. Taraji and Tracie are trying to make sense of startling facts that include that 76% of transgender homicide victims in the U.S. being Black and Trans people of color facing higher rates of death because of factors like racism, poverty, and fear of police.
