“You’re saying that what we should do is we should really be able to listen to what people feel,” Pinkett Smith said, adding, “I gotta stop trying to fix every damn thing. That’s not my job either.”
TheGirls Tripactress then reflected on how her daughter sets the tone, saying, “I gotta give Willow props because she’ll call me, disrupted, and be like, ‘I don’t need you to fix anything mom, I just want you to listen.'”
“I go, ‘Fantastic, I got you,'” Pinkett Smith added. “Because she knows I’m going to go straight to, ‘Well we can do this and that.’ ‘Nope just listen to me mommy, I just need you to listen.'”
