Will And Jada Smith: Elevate Humanity
Will Smith Family
Excerpts from Oprah.com
Will and Jada say they often talk with their kids about the purpose of the entertainment business, beyond just getting the role and acting. “We talk about the idea [that] you create something that is illustrating some aspect of the human spirit,” Will says. “It can be funny and it can be exciting. It can be scary. But what you’re trying to do, as artists, is to elevate humanity. When you’re choosing your work and you’re choosing the material that you’re putting into the world, you have to understand that somebody else’s kids are going to see that. Somebody’s grandmother is going to see it. Are they going to be better or worse after they have contact with your material?”

Thing is, you can’t get higher than Christ Jesus the Lord of all. If we putting effort into glorifying Him then I agree with Will, who is a professing Christian also according to his wife Jada. So, in order to make things better with the material you leave you must point people towards the Christ.

Will Smith is my boy! I’ve been a MAJOR FAN of his since ‘Rock The House’ back in the 1980’s!! I’ve watched him grow and change as a person. I’m very proud of him for all that he’s achieved.
