Earlier this year, Henson appeared on PEOPLE's 2020 Most Beautiful Issue to speak about finding moments of beauty and peace — especially during a time of uncertainty.
"As a world, I hope going through this doesn’t make us cold. I hope we don’t walk around in fear. When this is over, it is going to take a minute for us to adjust. And that’s okay," she wrote in an exclusive essay.
"My hope is that while we’re at home, people are getting closer to each other and themselves — to their souls," she continued. "This is the time for all of us to come together and be powerful and just put love into the world so it can win over all."
