She invited me over to her house with her daughter Willow. Jada made bison burgers, and we all sat by the pool laughing for hours. It was an instant connection. Those communication skills—the way she can connect with people so genuinely—are on full display on[ _Red Table Talk_](https://redtabletalk.com/ "undefined"), the Facebook Watch talk show that Jada hosts with Willow and her mom Adrienne, a.k.a. Gammy. Willow and Gammy each brings something unique. Willow: she’s the voice of today, and not afraid to speak. She checked me once for judging people who chew their nails, and I respected that. Gammy: she’s old-school, but open to change. When I went on the show, it was the first time I met her, and I felt like we were born at different times but at the same vibration. _Red Table Talk_ opens up a dialogue with grandmothers, mothers, daughters and granddaughters, where we can all share and relate to one another. They feature amazing guests, and help us see sides of them we’ve never seen before. For me, to watch those three [Black women work together](https://time.com/5909556/stacey-abrams-history-black-women-voting/ "undefined"), each representing a different generation, there’s a lot of hope in that. And they look so good too. Honestly, I’d watch just to pick up Gammy’s secrets. _Haddish is a comedian, best-selling author and Emmy-winning actor_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2021/6095978/adrienne-banfield-norris-willow-jada-pinkett-smith/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2021/6095978/adrienne-banfield-norris-willow-jada-pinkett-smith/"},"headline":"'Red Table Talk' Hosts: TIME100 2021","datePublished":"2021-09-15T11:19:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-07-21T07:22:41.661Z","description":"Find out why the \"Red Table Talk\" hosts Adrienne Banfield Norris, Willow Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith made the 2021 TIME100 list.","url":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2021/6095978/adrienne-banfield-norris-willow-jada-pinkett-smith/","keywords":["TIME 100","franchise","T100 2021"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt94a382e26f702156/698a1ca6b21a9c0fcc505212/adrienne-banfield-norris-jada-pinkett-smith-willow-smith-time-100-2021.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt94a382e26f702156/698a1ca6b21a9c0fcc505212/adrienne-banfield-norris-jada-pinkett-smith-willow-smith-time-100-2021.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2021/6095978/adrienne-banfield-norris-willow-jada-pinkett-smith/","name":"'Red Table Talk' Hosts: TIME100 2021"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME100 | See Everyone on the 2021 TIME100 List","description":"See every 2021 TIME100 Honoree in One Minute","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ZgB6AGK2/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2021-09-15T10:45:00.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ZgB6AGK2.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2021/6095978/adrienne-banfield-norris-willow-jada-pinkett-smith/","duration":"PT57S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2021/6095978/adrienne-banfield-norris-willow-jada-pinkett-smith/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
