Jada Pinkett Smith<\/a><\/strong> is getting the recognition she deserves!<\/p>\n

At the 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards<\/a>, the actress was honored with one of the biggest achievements in Hollywood: the Trailblazer Award. Dressed in a shimmering silver suit that exuded power, the 47-year-old climbed the stage with her son, Jaden Smith<\/a><\/strong>, by her side to accept the award that recognizes her numerous accolades that she achieved in her impressive career. <\/p>\n

Her friend and Girls’ Trip<\/em> co-star Tiffany Haddish<\/a><\/strong> presented her with the award and praised her for her work with the Will and Jada Pinkett Smith Foundation. Even Queen Latifah<\/a><\/strong> and Alicia Keys<\/a><\/strong> shared their praise for the star in a brief video!<\/p>\n

She started her speech, “Often we applaud the trails <\/span>people blaze in the external <\/span>world that we can see, but very <\/span>rarely do we applaud the trails <\/span>that are blazed in the hidden <\/span>rooms of the mind that are full <\/span>of uncertainty, false beliefs <\/span>and pain. <\/span>And it’s these internal <\/span>obstacles that must be <\/span>challenged in order to muster <\/span>the courage to forge new paths <\/span>that we can see in the world.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“And then I thought a little more <\/span>deeply. <\/span>I was thinking, every last <\/span>person in this room must do that <\/span>at some capacity. <\/span>So that means that every single <\/span>person in this room is <\/span>trailblazing, whether it’s <\/span>within or without,” Jada continued, as Jaden and Tiffany pumped up the crowd. “<\/span>So as you honor me tonight, I <\/span>want to honor all of you. <\/span>And I want to say, here’s to us <\/span>for all of our trailblazing. Keep it up and thank you!”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The actress got her start in the film industry when she starred in True Colors<\/em>, before moving her way up the ranks to starring roles in films like Collateral<\/em> and The Matrix<\/em>. Since then she has continued to champion for equality and foster discussions about various issues, especially with her talk show Red Table Talk<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Her hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Amy Doyle, general manager of MTV, VH1, CMT and Logo said in a statement<\/a>, “Jada has been a powerhouse since the beginning of her career and has achieved multi-hyphenate status throughout. She is the epitome of someone who is not afraid to challenge the status quo and we are thrilled to present her with this year’s Trailblazer Award.”<\/p>\n

Congratulations, Jada!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
