"I went through so many emotions reading this book. Reconnecting to one's ancestors and truly feeling, not only hearing, their stories are fertile ground for true ecstatic embodiment of the self. We have to know where we've been to see where we're going." -Willow Smith

"[Smith] is candid and honest... For the first time she reveals the truth behind [the] happy images. An incredible read." -Hoda Kotb, The Today Show

A gripping, at times painfully honest, and ultimately inspirational memoir from global superstar and creator of the Red Table Talk series Jada Pinkett Smith.

Jada Pinkett Smith was living what many would view as a fairy-tale of Hollywood success. But appearances can be deceiving, and as she felt more and more separated from her sense of self, emotional turmoil took hold. Sparing no detail, Worthy chronicles her life—from a rebellious youth running the Baltimore streets as an observer and participant in the drug trade, to the deep bond she shared with Tupac Shakur from the moment they met, to her move to Los Angeles and the successful career she built on her own terms, to becoming the wife of superstar Will Smith and mother to Jaden, Willow and bonus-mom to Trey . A rollercoaster from the depths of suicidal depression to the heights of self-acceptance and spiritual healing, Worthy is a woman’s journey to finding herself again.

In a media driven landscape that crafts narratives for our celebrities, Smith shares herself in an intimate conversation with listeners. She answers questions about her difficult childhood, her marriage, her parenting style, her career choices, and the intense scrutiny that followed “the slap.” An impactful and rare memoir that engages and educates, Worthy shows why adhering to the status quo has never been the plan for Jada Pinkett Smith and why labels and stories crafted by others strip women of their authenticity. Worthy teaches us who Jada is, and how to embrace our most lovable qualities. Complete with thought-provoking writing prompts and meditations on how to discover who we really are and nourish our self-worth.

Review

I actually enjoyed this book. I mean if people don’t get her by now. Hey, she put it all out there. Overall, it’s none of our business, but I think for her this put the icing on everything and she is now where she wants and needs to be. She is Jada! I love her ride or die mentality. I can relate to a lot of things she spoke about. I love how it was so detailed. She is making me ready for my next journey. Another one for the books. Thanks Jada!

Jada !!!!!!!!!!

What a beautiful story told by a beautiful , kind, real, free soul. I am so glad I got this book. Jada has lived a life and I'm so glad she told her story and I am glad I got to hear her story from her! What a therapeutic ride. I now need to buy a physical copy ! Thank you Jada for this book !

Fabulous and real

Great and inspiring read - I enjoyed hearing her perspective on her life, in her words.

fantastic, lite and vulnerable

First, Jada's voice is so soothing. It put me in a very open place to just...listen! It was easy to 'hear' her!! When I saw it was 15hrs long, I thought,'Whoa, this is gonna take a while', but it held my attention long enough to finish in just 2 days.
I'm so glad she read it herself. Her story is very open, and hearing her speak her truth allowed me to understand her truths from her point of view. I don't follow many Hollywood couples, but I find Will and Jada to resonate with me for some reason. They feel genuine to me. I've listened to Will's book also, and it's nice to get both sides from their mouth instead of what people, the internet, and social media have portrayed of them.
Very nicely done!!

Heartfelt and honest

I am someone who’s been depressed for years. I can’t get over the loss of my baby. this book planted a seed and opened up my thoughts and feelings to being OK with trying other things because the cry for help is just unbearable. It confirmed that we all have our own healing paths and no matter what our stories are, we still can be there for one another. No matter gender, race, age, profession, size, color, you name it, we can be loved and we can love. #loveyourselffirst

Authentic, Transparent and Beautiful

Jada tells HER love story in such an authentic and transparent way. With each memory shared, a deeper level of vulnerability is revealed. Jada story is one that is relatable and resonates. Such a beautiful story of her journey to loving herself!

She is a very good author, and an awesome storyteller. Loved the book from start to finish.
