About the Book:
A gripping, painfully honest, and ultimately inspirational memoir from global superstar and creator of the Red Table Talk series Jada Pinkett Smith. In a media driven landscape that crafts narratives for our celebrities, Smith recounts her story in an intimate conversation with readers. Along the way, she explores her path to accepting her power as a woman, and her discovery that a strong sense of self is every woman’s right and saving grace.
An impactful and rare memoir that engages and educates, Worthy is a courageous love song to self, to family, to life, and to the world.
From an unconventional upbringing in Baltimore, to an unconventional marriage to one of the most famous men in the world, adhering to the status quo has never been a familiar road for Jada Pinkett Smith. In Worthy, Smith strips herself of all the labels and stories crafted by others, and reclaims her narrative with radical self-love. Worthy teaches us who Jada is, and how to embrace our most authentic lovable souls.
My thoughts:
Resilient, Powerful, courageous, strong. These are just some of the words that came to mind while reading this remarkable book. growing up in the streets of Baltimore, to living in california with a successful career, Jada Pinkett Smith gives us a raw, gritty look into her life from the earliest memories until now. A book that would have normally only took me hours to read, took over a day, with some of it being so sad, I had to stop. I loved the fact that she just told her truth, her life, not a bunch a media propaganda and scandals. It makes it more relevant and authentic to me. And in the midst of tears, there were comedic moments to help lighten the mood at times.
