Jada Pinkett Smithis reflecting on the most valuable lesson she’s learned ahead of her 50th birthday.
“He said, ‘You know what I’m done with Jada? Convincing people,'” she recalled in the clip, above. “I said, ‘You know what, Jimmy? I’m about to steal all of that because I’m done with that, too.'”
Speaking to her daughter,Willow Smith, and her mother, Adrienne Banfield Norris, Pinkett Smith continued, “I’m done with convincing people. I just feel like, women taking back our power, in any form that you need to, to be done with the convincing.”
“That you’re smart enough, that you’re pretty enough, to convincing people that you’re worthy,” she added, “Coming into the last four years for me has really been about that transformation about coming to the self and having acceptance for the self and having to go through many different kinds of personal journeys; to come to that place of really grounding myself in that understanding. That’s been the most beautiful part of almost turning 50.”
