Most recently, Henderson served as the showrunner and executive producer for the Netflix series “First Kill,” a captivating tale that explored the burgeoning romance between two adolescent girls; one being a vampire, while the other was a vampire slayer.

Subsequently, she secured roles on shows such as “Family Matters,” “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” “Sister, Sister,” and “Moesha.

As a cinephile, I’m proud to have been instrumental in bringing George Tillman Jr.’s beloved movie “Soul Food” to life on television through Showtime.

Additionally, she penned, created, and oversaw the production of the short movie titled “The Rebel Girls,” inspired by a real-life event where a band of young girls were detained for striving to desegregate a cinema in 1963 Georgia. This film received a Humanitas Award nomination and garnered numerous victories at various film festivals. Currently, it’s being considered for an Oscar in the category of live action short films.
