Will and Jada: The Truth Will Set You Free.

As I was asleep on Friday, July 10, 2020, I received a notification from CNN stating that “ Jada and Will confirmed her relationship with August Alsina”. I woke up because I had to read more. I hadn’t seen the Red Table Talk of the confession but I was curious as to the details because the Smith’s appear to be very upfront and true people. They appear to be the family willing to become open books or “tell their business” so that they can help someone else. Therefore, I knew if I watched the confession/interview I would have learned something, and be a better person because of it.

So I watched the episode maybe about three times then I cried. I cried because the unveiling of their truth was beautiful. There was truth on Will Smith face as he listened to Jada speak about what she had done. His facial expression exemplified patient, and a little bit of embarrassment. But I loved the fact that he sat there like an upstanding man and took it all in without judgement of her. He let her speak her truth to the world.

He was also honest in his request for Jada to be very upfront about what exactly it was she wanted to say. He led the way in her journey to release it all.

There was truth in Jada’s voice as she confessed to “wanting to feel good”, and talking about her brokenness. I can believe that it resonated with many women…
