Daily Herald report

Film and TV star Taraji P. Henson will advocate for mental health awareness during an appearance Saturday, Jan. 12, at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg.

Henson - known for movie roles in "Hidden Figures," "Proud Mary" and other films, as well as her starring role on TV's "Empire" - will be at the Lord & Taylor store at 1 p.m. Customers who purchase a #stigmafree T-shirt will be eligible to meet and take a photo with Henson, who is an ambassador for the National Alliance on Mental Illness in addition to an award-winning actress.

The shirts must be purchased between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, and Henson will only be on hand for a limited time, so it is possible not everyone will get a chance to meet her. Proceeds from the shirt benefit the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
