Back Story: Taraji was raised on the ideals everyone deserved to be raised with. You matter, you are important, your voice matters, you are human. During the early 1800's, this was even more important to know especially given how the government and people viewed him based off of his appearance. But his mother always raised him to believe he could be better, he could be more, accomplish more. So she didn't bother taking him through the school system. As she knew They wouldn't teach him nearly as much as the other children. So he learned under his mother at home. She taught him everything, How to read, how to write, how to express himself and she even taught him how to speak two different languages. She taught him to be true to himself and know that he mattered just as much as anyone else. He was born for a purpose, and she’d be damned if her child wasted his life due to him feel likening he had no purpose. Throughout his elementary years she hard on her son, She had to teach him more than the average student would be taught at the time, not for him to be equal to the children in the school systems but for him to be better and then some. When Taraji was a teenager he met and feel in love with a fair skinned girl by the name of Elizabeth Benson, and honestly it was every bit of what puppy love should be. But when her father caught the two teens kissing on his back porch sh*t went down hill. Mr.Benson was a racist man and didn’t approve of his daughter’s choices so after handling her.. he and his klan went after Taraji putting a hit out on his life, causing Momma Odie to step in. That was the first time she taught him how to use the hidden power within him, His mother knew that if Mr.Benson and his men got a hold to her baby they’d kill him so In order to protect herself and her two sons she assisted Taraji in making his first set of voodoo dolls only to go on and terminate his pursers that way using magic. After that experience Taraji had stayed away from love all together, especially toward women who’s skin looks opposite of him. As a young adult he began working along side his mother in her voodoo shop where he made potions and sold items at ones request as well as helping people in need. He currently still resides in His home town of New Orleans where he’s taken over his mother’s voodoo shop along side his brother Tremé, still selling items and helping people and tourists in need. Taraji could always be found either at his shop or at the small in and out restaurant that his mother owns. He is currently single and has no children, but if you were to meet Taraji he’s calm, cool and collective he’s a man that knows his power and his worth. Taraji is definitely a man that I’d want to have by my side.
