Focus: Jada Pinkett-Smith

“You have to take care of yourself in order to take care of others.”

This footage of Jada Pinkett-Smith was from an exclusive Red Table Talk   interview she did with her daughter Willow; the interview was from three years ago but has now reemerged and has been making the rounds on different social media sites. Now, I don’t think I have to explain who Jada Pinkett-Smith is but for the few others who might not know her, she’s an actress (The Nutty Professor, The Matrix, Magic Mike XXL and most recently Gotham), philanthropist, mother and of course the other half of Will Smith. 

In the 6-minute video, she was asked what is seemingly a simple question – How hard is it being a wife and a mother? Her answer sheds a light on what it’s like to constantly search for what it is that makes the people you love happy and at the same time, never forgetting yourself along the way on what makes you happy. Watch the clip, be inspired and learn from this practical and intelligent woman.
