Here’s a special Mother’s Day treat for all you Jada Pinkett-Smith and Willow Smith fans, Jada is introducing a new on-line series called “Red Table Talks.”

In the first installment, viewers will get to see three generations of Jada Pinkett-Smith’s family which include her daughter and mother in a deep and emotion-driven conversation while sitting at a red round table.

There seems to be a lot of talk about how fast Willow is growing up since she’s been thrust into the spotlight.

According to the press release the three will be engaged in a candid discussion about motherhood, quality time and the consequences of life in the spotlight, the three generations–Jada, her daughter Willow and her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones–sat down for the first of what Smith intends to be an ongoing conversation called “Red Table Talks.

A minute and a half long YouTube trailer for the video discussion, which is set to debut on Mother’s Day 2012, May 13, reveals Banfield-Jones’ feeling that she was “not a good mother” to Pinkett-Smith and Willow’s concern that the family does not spend enough quality time with one another.

“For people to be able to sit down together and have a conversation, that’s the power of love. Love is what sometimes holds us and binds us when we’re not so happy,” Pinkett-Smith says. The conversation she’s starting around “The Red Table” will eventually represent all conversation, she adds. “My belief is that communication is the best way to create strong relationships.”
