the word "wife" as a "golden cage" and added:

"Swallow the Key."

Jada also mentioned that she had reservations against the conventional marriage institution before getting married, and it still affected her when she eventually did. Hence, her reason to share ordeals with the public. In her words:

"Even before I was married, I was like, 'That'll kill me.' And it damn near did! So why wouldn't you share what you've been through -"

"Will is my life partner, and I could not ask for a better one. I adore him, I never want people to think it was Will I didn't want to marry,"

she said and noted the role of influential women who were" caged and tied" by their relationships.
