In the clip, Jada gives shout-outs to three other women authors who make up the top five, including Rachel Maddow (Prequel), Cassidy Hutchinson (Enough) and Dolly Parton (Behind the Seams).
“I was sitting here thinking that there was a time where women actually had to take on the names of men in order to be published, and here we have four women at the top of the bestsellers list,” she said, adding, “… I’m deeply grateful.”
He continued, “It’s one thing to hear anecdotes at a family barbecue, but it was truly overwhelming to take in your story, potently condensed in this way.”

When Jadaannounced her book back in June, shewroteon Instagram that “many think they already know” her journey that she reveals inWorthy.
“The fact that I have, in the last four years contributed to the creation and perpetuation of falsehoods about myself, in which other untrue narratives were birthed, has surely aided in the misunderstandings that surround me,” she said at the time. “This fall, with deep humility and respect, I will take back my narrative.”
She described the book as a “harrowing ride of reclaiming my self-worth while unraveling unspoken truths.”
