WORTHY, by Jada Pinkett Smith.
Let’s get one thing out of the way: If you’re downloading Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir just to hear about the Slap, you have 14 hours, 3 minutes and 6 seconds of listening to do before you reach your goal.
Smith’s voice is calm and steady throughout this chapter; it quavers elsewhere, especially when she describes the 1996 death of Tupac Shakur, who had been her friend, protector and ardent supporter since her sophomore year of high school.
The chapter “The Holy Joke, the Holy Slap and Holy Lessons” appears near the end of her book for a reason: It’s not the point.
Smith also opens up, generously, about her depression, her therapeutic journey and her spirituality.
