If we’re talking bold Taurus energy, it doesn’t get any bolder than Entertainment Studios Inc. founder Byron Allen. Multimillion-dollar mogul and funnyman alike, Allen is a polarizing figure when it comes to Black men in media.

American football star Cam Newton is as charismatic as they come when taking about our Taurus folk. No matter where he plays, whether alongside the Patriots or the Panthers, his skills as a quarterback come second to none.

Taurus nature is said to be “slow and steady,” and that makes sense when considering Top Chef‘s own Carla Hall. Divine dishes take a little extra time to prepare, and the master courses that Hall used to whip up on her cooking talk show The Chew had be the work of a Taurus.

4. Cedric the Entertainer

When it comes to comedy, Taurus people are said to be lowkey with their jovial appeal. When it comes to the comedy of Cedric the Entertainer, his jokes are slick enough to pass over your head, only to understand & laugh about them even harder days later. A true Taurean, indeed.

Protective nature goes hand-in-hand for a Taurus, and NBA vet Chris Paul can attest to that as it plays out for him both as a leading point guard on his given NBA team and as a loyal dad to his growing family. Definitely nothing like a Taurean dad!

Just as powerful of a figure in the civil rights movement as her late husband Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, the lovely Mrs. Coretta Scott King always embodied strong-as-a-bull energy at all aspects of her life. That mission for African-American equality that she fought for until the end still lives on today.

Once lead vocalist of the popular ’90s band Hootie & the Blowfish, Darius Rucker tapped into his need as a Taurus to be independent and launch a solo career as a record-breaking Black country star.  Who could blame him?

Creative energy is second nature for a Taurus, and the many hairstyles alone over the years when it came to Bulls legend Dennis Rodman made for enough proof to tell that he’s a Taurus through and through. He might even be the mascot!

We could spend days telling you about the amazingness that is Janet Jackson, but many of her fellow Taurus troopers could already spot that from their shared personality of being perfectionists. Looking back at the Queen of Pop’s career over the past 40 years and counting, that trait sure does prove to pay off.
