Henson launched the campaign on social media, saying: “This campaign is for under-served communities experiencing life-changing events related to, or triggered by, the Covid-19 pandemic.”
Taraji P Henson, the actor best known for roles in space-launch drama Hidden Figures and the music-business TV series Empire, has launched a campaign for free “virtual therapy” services for African Americans unable to afford help during the coronavirus outbreak.
It is a similar picture in the UK, with research suggesting that BAME groups are being hit harder in the pandemic.
Henson is also appealing for donations to defray the cost.
