How Jada Pinkett Smith 'empowers' Willow
She's mother to one of Hollywood's most talented offspring, and now Jada Pinkett Smith has revealed how she works on empowering her daughter Willow Smith.
In Australia to promote her new film Girls Trip, the 45-year-old actress spoke to Be about what it takes to raise a strong daughter in today's society and how she shares her ideas on what it means to be a strong woman and role model for the women in her life. Check outBe's chat with Jada above.
"More so than sharing it, it's being it and working on myself and strengthing myself in a way that, you just are that. And I always say in order to raise a healthy daughter you have to be a healthy woman," Jada told Be.
"I work on being as healthy as I can be and standing in my own skin in a way in which I'm proud of. I think that speaks louder than words in all honesty. But I do have a really strong daughter," the actress added with a laugh.
With female empowerment a constant theme in her new flick, Jada also spoke about the special bond she shares with her 16-year-old daughter.
"She's a powerhouse in her own right and we do talk a lot and lean on each other a lot in regards to what we want to be and being the women we want to be. It's really nice to have a daughter I can journey with in that way. Its a really beautiful thing."
