More about Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk
Red Table Talk is produced by Westbrook Studios and debuted its first episode in 2018. Furthermore, it bagged a Daytime Emmy award for an outstanding informative talk show in 2021.
Additionally, the online talk show premiered five seasons and later launched the spinoff Red Table Talk: The Estefans.
Meanwhile, Jada Pinkett Smith shared her goal of expanding the Red Table Talk during an interview with Rolling Stone in 2021.
She said, ‘To be able to sit [as] three Black women and see the variety of perspectives is really interesting because I know a lot of people just like to put Black women in one big old pot. That myth has to be dissolved.’
Jada’s daughter Willow Smith on the other hand also reflected on what the talk show means to them during the interview.
She mentioned, ‘We saw how much it helps us.’
Willow went on to reveal that the show echoes the real conversations she has with her mom and grandmother.
She added, ‘It was like, “Whoa, this is really uncovering some things. I wonder if we can give this feeling to others.”‘
