While on the show, Taylor talked about how her husband, former NBA player Iman Shumpert, fell in love along with her, her upcoming movie “A Thousand and One” and the time she taught Beyoncé a preferred Recent York City dance.

“She originally desired to learn the chicken noodle soup; that is a preferred Harlem dance. I’m from Harlem and I used to be battling everybody. They called me, I used to be like 15 years old and hopped on my skateboard and went down there,” Taylor told Kimmel in regards to the experience with the pop star. “I didn’t even know I might have that chance. The Harlem and the hustler in me was like, ‘All right, bet, I’m going to show her one thing and it’s going to show into one other.”

Taylor’s recent film, set to be released in theaters on March 31, follows a mother and son as they grow through their relationship, through trials and tribulations. Taylor plays the lead role alongside William Catlett and Josiah Cross. The film already received the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at Sundance 2023.

Outside of acting, Taylor is understood for her standout fashion looks. To the HBCU screening of the film on Monday, the actress wore an oversize burgundy bomber jacket with colourful patches. For the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards on March 10, she donned a plaid look again in Kidill pants, pairing the look with a crop blazer and mock-neck shirt.
