Recognized by our fellow journalists at TIME as one of the most influential figures or our era. Rihanna embodies a modern femininity and an unapologetic strength of character that could never be displayed in just one cover.

And it’s that personality that Inez and Vinoodh captured with this second cover of the special guest-edited issue. But stay tuned, there may be more… Styled by Mel Ottenberg, hair by Yusef Williams, makeup by Stephane Marais and nails by Maria Salandra.”

For the 2017 October edition Henson had a vivid discussion with Janet Mock. What did the two talk about? Taraji laid it all down when it comes to love and relationships, haterade as well as being an iconic role model for young women. Here are a few quotes from her in-depth interview:

“I love black people; I love telling stories. Also I want young girls to study me like I studied Meryl and Bette Davis and Carol Burnett. [Furthemore] I want them to study my work, because I put a lot of work in. A lot of blood, sweat and tears

How can we get ahead if we’re feuding and hating on each other all the time? I made a pact years ago that I would never hate on another female, ever, especially in this industry.

I would love to be in a relationship. [However] he has to see how I move and deal with it, because I don’t have time to explain. I’ve got work to do.”
