A Promise
Jada added, “This is a world where women [and] girls are constantly reminded that they don’t belong to themselves – that their bodies are not their own nor their power or self-determination. I made a promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know that her body, spirit and her mind are HER domain. Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value [and] her worth is not measured by the length of her hair.”

Sharing A Belief
Will also appears to share Jada’s belief that their daughter’s body is her own and she can what she wishes with it. In 2013, the actor explained to Parade, “When you have a little girl, it’s like, how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? She can’t cut my hair, but that’s her hair… She has got to have command of her body.”
