“I just watched this with my daughter Willow. It was tough to watch but deeply important,” Smith wrote after watching Friday night’s installment with her daughter Willow Smith,18.
Jada encourages parents not only to watch the documentary with their kids, but to also have a conversation about the “many issues” that arise from the series.
She continued, “It brought up A LOT for us both. Mothers and fathers … it’s tough content but it’s important we have conversations with both our daughters and sons around the many issues in this docuseries. It’s well done and makes it clear that we gotta do better … in so many ways.”
Since the airing of the docuseries, Kelly‘s music sales have substantially increased on the Spotify platform, The Blast reports. Earlier today, Pinkett-Smith took to her Instagram to ask her followers to help her understand why sales were increasing. “I really don’t want to believe that Black girls don’t matter enough. Or is that the reason?” she questioned.
