The Smiths are undoubtedly one of America’s favorite families. Will and Jada are Hollywood legends, Jaden is becoming an icon in his own right, and Willow’smusical career is still on the rise. The family has also slapped Facebook talk show onto their resumé.

This week, Jada debuted her Facebook Watch series Red Table Talk alongside her 17-year-old daughter and her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris. In the show, the three generations come together to share their thoughts on everything “from self-image to sex,” as InStyle writes. One topic on the show already made headlines, as Jada revealed Willow once walked in on her and Will having sex.

Ahead of Mother’s Day this weekend, Jada decided to pen an open letter to Willow about the experience of working with her on Red Table Talk and beyond. “I'm so proud of how opinionated and strong you are,” she wrote in the letter shared with InStyle. “Both you and your brother have taught me acceptance—how to accept and allow you to be who you are. I appreciate you for that.”
