Three women. Three generations. One table.

Jada Pinkett Smith's Web Television Show 'Red Table Talk' Is Turning Tables

Most are familiar with Facebook Watch's new sensation "Red Table Talk" because of Jordyn Wood's guest appearance to talk about her side of the Khloe and Tristan drama. But aside from Jordyn Wood's and aside from the Kardashians, the "Red Table Talk" is an empowering Web Television Show that America is in desperate need of right now.

Three generations of women, Jada Pinkett Smith, her daughter Willow Smith and mother Adrienne all join the red table in the Smiths home to have candid conversations about parenthood, body issues, domestic violence, surviving loss, love, white privilege, healing, addiction and so much more.

I fell in love with the show when it first came out last year during the summer. It seemed like the topics of self-love and forgiveness was everything I needed to hear at the time. The conversation was authentic. There was no holding back. It was raw. It was real. It's a place where honesty is not sugar-coated.

I think what I love most about the show is the fact that there are three generations of women. Three different perspectives. Three different voices in the conversation.

These are all things that television is lacking today.

Powerful black women not afraid to voice their truths in a world full of fake news and alternative facts.

What is so astonishing and shocking about this show is that not too often do we see real people have real conversations without it being in the form of a reality show that is obviously scripted. "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," "Love & Hip Hop" and even "The Bachelor" cannot and will never be as real and as thought-provoking as this show.

And Jada ain't afraid to get down to the nitty-gritty, the conversation about the docuseries Surviving R. Kelly or the open discussion about her own families issues with depression.

This Web Television series that only appears on Facebook Watch is more than just a show to foster critical conversations.

This show is turning tables.

This show is a movement.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
