Three generations of women get together and talk about life, pop culture, current events, and anything else that may be on their minds. They invite guests from all backgrounds to pull up a chair and join in on the conversation, offering up new perspectives as they go along. Jada Pinkett Smith had the idea of having a "table talk" with her mother, Adrienne Bandfield-Norris, and her daughter, Willow Smith, to help gain new insight on how certain issues affect women in various stages of life. No one knew that "Red Table Talk" would be a social media sensation, but fans are thankful and can't stop watching these three being honest and vulnerable in front of cameras.

“Everybody has a place at the table because there’s not just one perspective,” Pinkett Smith said. “That’s what makes the show awesome to me.”

To celebrate their successes, Essence magazine featured the grandmother (Gammy), mother, and daughter trio on the cover of their March issue, titled "Talk Is Chic."

Pinkett Smith shared the cover on her Instagram page captioning the photo by saying the feature has made her mother's dream come true.

"Gammy’s dream was to be on the cover of @Essence and our Essence fam made it come true. Thank you Essence and @warwicksaint who is one of my favorite photographers to work with! You really did us right! Out on stands Feb 22nd!"

Gammy is definitely slaying! She out here aging backward!
