Tasha Henderson
Tasha Henderson was Born in Dallas Texas, the land of vicious smiles and back-handed compliments. Fittingly, her writing is a unity of opposites. Although Henderson never won a title, she did pick up a second language: “Texas Bitch.” Henderson has an appreciation for the dark, comedic, and the darkly comedic. Her style is life lessons with a body count. Henderson graduated from Loyola Marymount University with an MFA in Screenwriting and a desire to create the characters she has always wanted to see. After co-writing and producing COMPLEX[ION] WOMAN, a play that explores the intricacies of Black womanhood, which won the Encore Producer’s Award at the 2016 Hollywood Fringe Festival, Tasha then went on to write and produce the web series, DATING NOW, a romantic comedy about the racial politics of dating— which was named an Official Selection of the Hollywood Comedy Shorts Film Festival and Bronzelens Film Festival. Henderson was a 2018 LMU Incubator Lab Fellow, a 2018 Project Involve Fellow, and a 2020 Walt Disney Television Program Writer. Henderson wrote on all three seasons of ABC’s HOME ECONOMICS where she got to incorporate her love of astrology and all things “woo-woo” into the character of Denise—a Black lesbian. Most recently, Henderson served as co-producer on BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED, for Amazon Freevee. Henderson is repped by Industry Entertainment and CAA.
