Jada Pinkett Smith, The American actress who was executive producer and narrator, was meanwhile quoted as saying: " We don't often get to see or hear stories about black queens, and That was really important for me, as well as for My Daughter , and just for my community to be able to know those stories because there are tons of them! "
