Worthy

Written by Jada Pinkett Smith

Narrated by Jada Pinkett Smith

A gripping, painfully honest and ultimately inspirational, New York Times bestselling memoir from global superstar and creator of the Red Table Talk series Jada Pinkett Smith.

'It’s a shame that Pinkett Smith's marriage has taken up so much attention because, as Worthy shows, it’s far from the most interesting thing about her’ Sunday Times Magazine

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 loveable souls.

Knowing about how she grew up, this book felt like access to her and not what is presented in the media.I hope people read this with the lenses of a human navigating life and all the experiences that come with it.

Herself wether it is her rich subconscient mind that has loads of imagination or not, she did the work of digging within herself! Many of us had not had the courage to face ourselves in a way. Brave for a celebrity to expose oneself and deliver such after all these years! True or false, it is here raw… Ç’est la vie! Done.

Revealing... I believe everyone has the right to tell their story.
