The Smith family had always been at the crux of pop culture. However, owing to the events that unfolded at the Academy Awards last year, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith now have a pillar named after them in the hall of controversies. While both the actor and his wife maintained an unsettling silence following the event, only choosing to dance at afterparties and announce hiatuses, Jada Pinkett Smith took the mantle of revival upon herself as she announced her memoir, ‘Worthy’, a few months ago.

While the general expectation with a memoir is a recount of life events and stories untold, Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir will be a feat above the rest owing to her involvement in many events that shaped the trajectory of pop culture. And to give an idea of just how intriguing her memoir will be, the actress is set to do an interview with Hoda Kotb.
