Willow is Taught A Life Lesson When Her Mother, Jada Pinkett Smith Takes On Cause of Sexual Assault After Family Incident

Jada Pinkett Smith speaks up for rape victims after it nearly affected a family member and taught Willow Smith, her daughter, a life lesson to empower and educate her on what can happen when you let your guard down. Jada Pinkett Smith supports all young ladies who have been a victim of rape because it can happen to anyone and if it can happen it needs to be stopped. The 20 year-old niece of Jada was given a date rape drug and this could have possibly been her 13-year-old daughter Jada. She feels there is an epidemic going on and it’s a rash that needs to be taken care of. Earlier this month the topic of sexual assault was addressed by Jada Pinkett Smith after hashtag #JusticeforJada started trending shadowing an incident in which a young lady by the name of Jada (age 16) was drugged and raped. Within the same month someone close to Jada was endanger of becoming a victim. There is indeed a way to empower her young one without Jada doing it from a mother perspective, but by Willow hearing it from someone else she looks up to, her cousin who is 20 and can show Willow that this is really real. Pinkett Smith expressed confidence in her daughter empowering her to be that individual with the confidence with who they are.
