Willow Smith got candid about her childhood as she opened up about where she and her siblings used to spend time together growing up.

Wearing a mottled green sweater and baggy jeans, the singer looked perfectly at one in nature as she explored the Santa Monica Mountains.

The clip panned to the sunkissed trees and yellow grass as she walked along logs and stood on rocks. Exploring the valley, it wouldn't be hard to imagine a younger Willow playing with her brother Jaden in the pastoral environment.

Not one to hide her more profound feelings, the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith discussed her realizations while making music.
"I have been realizing more and more how powerful a vehicle fashion can be within a musical aesthetic," she said. "I think that we can see them differently as two different art forms but I love to see them kind of informing one another."

"While learning to surf, a ten-year-old Jaden Smith saw a plastic bottle floating next to him in the water," the statement read. "Unable to shake the image of plastic polluting the Pacific, he decided to do something. What began as an introduction to the impact humans have on the environment became a Smith family obsession to do good."
His company is a certified B Corp, which means they have committed themselves to using their business for good. "We’re bound to it legally," a statement on the website reads.
"JUST is a legal benefit corporation. As such, we’re required to account for the impact our business has on our workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment," the statement continued. "We prove that we do that by going through the rigorous B Corp certification process and reporting our results."
