taraji p. hensonOut with the old and in with the new! Taraji P. Henson is officially replacing comedian/actor/talk show host, Steve Harvey, as the new host of BET’s Celebration of Gospel: Forward In Faith.   Harvey hosted this spirited celebration for 13 years and Taraji is set to breathe new life into the star-studded show.   R&B and Gospel stars will raise the praise together as BET reimagines one of its most viewed programs.    The powers that be at BET say Henson’s effervescent personality and quick wit are a few qualities that make her a perfect fit for the job.

This isn’t Taraji’s first time hosting. She hosted BET’s Soul Train Awards in 2010 with “Hustle & Flow” co-star, Terrence Howard, so we know she’s got the chops to carry an entire show.   Taraji says that anyone who knows her, knows how much she truly loves the Lord, so hosting this Celebration of Gospel was organic and an automatic yes!   #TeamBeautiful recently caught up with the “Think Like A Man Too” actress and she basically went to church during our chat, enlightening us on how she continues to walk by faith and not by sight, how she stays grounded in Hollywood and how important gospel is to her life.
