“I don’t mean to brag, but my friend Jada Pinkett Smith is the recipient of the Trailblazer Award,” Tiffany told the crowd. “That’s my friend. She’s taken us to Madagascar and into The Matrix. You can even say her career has been one crazy Girl’s Trip. See what I did there? Just call me Jada Pinkett Pedia Smith.”
“Starring in some of my favorite TV shows and movies isn’t what makes her a trailblazer,” Tiffany continued. “Neither is the fact that she’s dedicated years of her life and much of her own dollars and time to to help those less fortunate than herself with the Will and Jada Pinkett Smith Foundation. She’s the one everyone who knows her goes to – that’s why I always ask her if I can have some money. It’s the fact that she’s never stopped pushing boundaries. She doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘No,’ which is also why I ask her for money. But I always ask for small amounts!”
“Now, in addition to all that and raising two of the coolest kids in the world, she’s decided to raise the bar once again.” Tiffany added. “Her Red Table Talk series is setting the standard for talk shows in this next century and bringing together generations for conversations about everything from God to sex to race – it’s serious. She’s not making a talk show, she’s making a show with real talk and I’m all about that. And to top it off, she’s married to the real-life Prince … the Prince of Bel-Air. She’s an actor and a philanthropist, a boss, a mom and somehow after being in the game for almost 30 years, she still looks 28.”
