Willow Smith for FLAUNT Magazine - Issue 191

For her, reinvention has often been instinctive, deeply felt, yet ultimately therapeutic and serene, encompassing the entire spectrum of emotions. Growing up within the unique context of girlhood, specifically, she notes, as a “woman of color,” often entails a lifelong experience of being misunderstood, “I think becoming who we are is always a painful process, whether you’re doing it in front of other people or not.” It can involve feeling confined and having to reshape the world’s perception of you, which for her, seemed to include transitioning from being known as the young nepo pop artist who once sang about her vibrant hair to expelling the hardships of raw adulthood and carving an artistic lane away from her famous family. To her, each transformation represents a musical evolution and a profound journey of self-discovery, proving that reinvention is not just an artistic process, but a deeply personal and transformative experience.
