Facebook Watch has renewed the Daytime Emmy-nominated Peace of Mind with Taraji, hosted by Golden Globe Award-Winning Actress Taraji P. Henson and her best friend and co-host Tracie Jade, the Executive Director of Henson’s Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation, for a second season. Production of the new season has commenced in Los Angeles. The 10-episode new season will debut later this year on Facebook Watch.
Peace of Mind with Taraji shines a spotlight on the challenging mental health issues facing individuals today – especially those in the Black community. Through personal interviews with celebrities, experts and everyday people, the series shows how to provide support, bring awareness, and aims to de-stigmatize mental health issues.
The first season of Peace of Mind with Taraji debuted in December 2020 on Facebook Watch. Over eight weeks, Taraji and Tracie Jade shared powerful discussions with best-selling author Gabrielle Union on her experience with PTSD, singer and television personality Tamar Braxton on the damaging pressure of being a strong Black woman, Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter Mary J. Blige on holiday despair and isolation, stand-up comedian and actor Jay Pharoah on his experience with police brutality and the toll it took on his mental health, in addition to topics such bipolar disorder, grief after death without warning, eating disorders and more.
“We’ve long been mental health advocates for the Black community and founded BLHF to educate and provide resources to those who are struggling with talking about their challenges,” said Taraji P. Henson and Tracie Jade. “In season two of Peace of Mind, we will continue to open the door for impactful and relevant conversations. Partnering with Facebook allows us to engage more broadly with our community, sharing our own personal battles with mental health as well, in hopes that they see themselves in us. The more we talk about it, the more comfortable others will feel to talk about it. We will talk, we will laugh, we will cry…., we gon’ heal, TOGETHER!”
Peace of Mind with Taraji is part of a diverse slate of critically acclaimed Facebook Watch talk shows, joining Daytime Emmy Award-winning Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith, her daughter Willow Smith and mother Adrienne Banfield Norris, STEVE on Watch with Steve Harvey and Red TableTalk: The Estefans with Gloria Estefan, her daughter Emily Estefan and niece Lili Estefan.
Peace of Mind with Taraji is produced by 495 Productions with Taraji P. Henson, Tracie Jade Jenkins, SallyAnn Salsano and Jennifer Ryan serving as Executive Producers. Ebony McClain serves as Co-Executive Producer.
