‘I Will Take Back My Narrative’

In October, Jada Pinkett Smith announced she was writing a memoir about life and her ‘complicated’ marriage to her husband Will Smith. Now Jada has revealed the title of her anticipated book. The forthcoming book is billed as a “no holds barred” retelling of the influential actor and TV host’s “difficult but riveting journey … from the depths of suicidal depression to the heights of personal rediscovery and the celebration of authentic feminine power.”

On her Instagram page, Jada wrote:

My adventures of my youth, meaningful friendships, marriage, motherhood, self-betrayal and self reclamation are mere reflections of the adventures so many of us have taken in search of happiness. My hope is that through the exploration of my own tumultuous situations to the rediscovery of deep love, that we are all reminded that no matter where we may be on our journey, we are all…Worthy.
