In an interview, Jada said that there are a lot of stories to be shared about Black culture and that the world needs to know about them. She also said that stories like this never really had a chance to be told, and now they have that opportunity.

Jada feels that we owe it to our past, and the people who paved the way, to where we are today. Despite the hardships, especially for the Black people, that were endured, we could still look back and seek more inspiration from the people before us.

She says that the new series is in honor of those who came before us, and that we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the opportunities we have now.

Jada Pinkett Smith is also known for being outspoken in her show, Red Table Talk, where she is joined by her daughter Willow and her mother Adrienne. The show focuses on candid conversations and how they were viewed by three generations of women.
