*Alicia Keys opens up about her self-esteem issues in a special Red Table Talk episode with hosts Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris.
“I’ve been battling what I realize is potentially some self-worth issues because for whatever reason I’m feeling like I’m not deserving of greatness,” Keys said.
“And I’ve been smooshing it down for so long that it’s become a habit, a bad habit,” she added. Check out what else she said in the clip above.
Keys will share more about her journey in a memoir called “More Myself,” which will be published under Oprah Winfrey’s book imprint, An Oprah Book, on March 31, 2020.
“More Myself” is “part autobiography, and part narrative documentary,” the “Girl on Fire” singer said.

“I couldn’t be more ecstatic to share this part of my journey so far and all the ways I am continuously learning to honor my truth,” Keys previously said in a statement. “Alongside my sister, mentor, and friend Oprah, this book is one of the most exciting chapters yet.”
Winfrey was equally thrilled about the partnership.
“I could feel the power of Alicia’s presence even before she belted out the first soulful notes of the lyrics that made her famous — ‘I keep on fallin’ in and out of love with you.’” Winfrey said, per the press release. “I knew she had all those sparkling qualities that make stars shine. More important, Alicia has navigated the spotlight and pressures of fame while retaining a humble and beautiful spirit. I am honored she chose to share her personal story through my imprint.”
“More Myself” will also include commentary from Keys’ husband, Swizz Beatz. The music duo share sons Genesis, 4, and Egypt, 8. They also co-parent with the producer’s ex Mashonda Tifrere, with whom he has son Kasseem, 12.
