Jurnee Smollett – Emmy-nominated actress known for Lovecraft Country, Friday Night Lights, The Great Debaters, and Apple TV+’s Smoke – has spent her life in front of the camera. But long before the accolades, she was a young girl raised in a home where art, activism, and self-reliance were daily lessons. 

In this deeply personal conversation, Jurnee sits down with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger to reflect on the moments that nearly pulled her away from acting – and the calling that brought her back. Joined by her plus one, sister Jazz Smollett, she opens up about growing up in a house of creators, refusing roles that didn’t reflect her standards, navigating insecurity, and redefining strength after motherhood. 

Together, they share how: 

• Failure can redirect you toward your true calling 

• Refusing to conform can protect your purpose 

• Strength is about discipline and willpower—not appearance 

• Motherhood expands who you are—it doesn’t diminish you 

• Art can heal both the artist and the audience
