I love Jada, but I don’t know if I by this one. So you Bare it all in ESSENCE Magazine in order to teach your daughter about positive body image? I could see if you were over-weight or plus-sized. But with your perfectly petite golden-toned skin, I’m just not buying this as a good way to empower black women. You may even make more women insecure by looking at you. Jada explains,
“When I walked out there and disrobed, I felt like a queen. I felt like the world was mine. Like there was this power just emanating from my person. Like there was nothing I couldn’t do.” -Jada Pinkett Smith
Multi-talented actress and superstar mom Jada Pinkett Smith bares it all for the July cover of ESSENCE magazine, and makes a bold statement to empower Black women and girls. Jada shares the motivation behind her shoot, and explains why she approached ESSENCE with the idea.
The article reveals that posing nude was not about Hollywood vanity, but about the desire to teach her young daughter about positive body image. By celebrating our bodies and our skin tone, Jada preaches the power of femininity and the freedom of self-acceptance.
The July issue of ESSENCE magazine hits newsstands on June 11.
