Superstar Mom Jada Pinkett Smith Starts a Revolution by Baring Her Body & Soul for ESSENCE's July Issue

Aims to Empower Black Women and Girls to Rejoice in Their Bodies and Celebrate Their Skin

'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, ESSENCE

NEW YORK, June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Multi-talented actress and superstar mom Jada Pinkett Smith is starting a revolution.  She 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.  For her, posing nude is 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.
