Jada Pinkett Smith To Release Memoir In 2023
Jada Pinkett Smith is set to release a memoir and share her life story with her fans.
According to PEOPLE, the Red Table Talk host and actress will publish the book in the fall of 2023. In the book, Smith "chronicles lessons learned in the course of a difficult but riveting journey — a rollercoaster ride from the depths of suicidal depression to the heights of personal rediscovery and the celebration of authentic feminine power," according to a press release.
The yet-to-be-titled memoir is said to reveal Pinkett Smith's "unconventional upbringing in Baltimore — from the child of two addicts to a promising theatre student and a violent interlude as a petty drug dealer — followed by a parallel rise to stardom alongside her close friend 2Pac, then falling in love with and marrying Will Smith, and a joyous embrace of motherhood."
"At the heart of this powerful book," the description of the body of work shares, "are two unexpected love stories, one being Jada's complicated marriage to Will Smith, the other being the one with herself."
The press release also notes that the memoir written by the 51-year-old explores how she was "in crisis at age 40" and "recounts the excruciating choices she was forced to make to redefine her life in every way."
Pinkett Smith's memoir comes on the heels of her husband Will Smith's self-titled memoir Will that, released in Nov. 2021.
