Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir, Worthy, has made a big splash for its bombshell revelations … and it hasn’t even been out for a week. But the book from the award-winning actress and talk show host is not just tabloid fodder – it’s also a critical part of Jada’s “reclamation journey”. In this episode, Jada tells her career story – how she’s navigated Hollywood, having a world-famous spouse, death threats, and public judgment. And come out stronger for it. 


In this episode, Jada shares: 

  • Her dream Red Table Talk guest 
  • Why she had to learn to deal with her self-judgment  
  • How to have difficult conversations with friends and family
  • Her perspective on *that* Red Table conversation between her and Will  
  • Why her alopecia diagnosis has been a great “teacher”
