“If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” Shirley Chisholm. 1972.

Am I crazy for finding it VERRRRRRRY telling that Jada has put a lot of thought into divorcing Will, but points specifically to splitting assets as a big reason for why it hasn’t happened yet? I might be overthinking this, but it seems like there’s a shit-ton of subtext there
