In case there were any doubts, Taraji P. Henson is here to remind us that she’s still got it.

Since Joss Carter, the character she played on CBS’ Person of Interest, met her demise, the actress has been keeping herself busy filming Think Like a Man Too and an upcoming movie called Term Life, with two other films currently in post-production.

Despite her busy schedule, she found the time to slip into a sexy Nicolas Jesbran jeweled romper and pose as Upscale magazine’s cover girl. Do you see those curves? All we can say is, “Damn, Jody!”

Keep on reading to see what Taraji had to tell the glossy about the challenges of being black in Hollywood and dating.

On the roles for black actresses in Hollywood:

“It’s always a battle for black women; we’re totally at the bottom of the totem pole. Look at the white girls. How many times have you seen Amy Adams in a period piece with a great actor like Meryl Streep or Christian Bale? And look at Jennifer Lawrence! Hits out the wazoo! How come we’re not nominated every year? Because the scripts and the roles aren’t there. It’s not rocket science.”

On love and dating:

“Here’s the deal. I’m no spring chicken. I’m not in my 20s dating around. I’m looking for happily ever after. So, once you get clear on what it is you’re looking for, the pickings are slim, honey. I’ve left the whole continent of North America. I’m looking abroad.”

The May issue is on stands now, so pick one up to see the full spread and more of her bangin’ body.
