VH1, Flavor Unit and Jesse Collins Entertainment team up to help the world celebrate motherhood with honorees Alicia Keys’ mom Terria Joseph, Rita Ora’s mom Vera Sahatçiu, Queen Latifah’s mom Rita Owens, Anthony Anderson’s mom Doris Bowman, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Alessia Cara’s mom Enza Caracciolo.

Jada Pinkett-Smith gets recognized by her children Trey, Jaden and Willow along with husband Will Smith who surprises her with a performance from one of her favorite artist. The Girls Educational and Mentoring Services (GEMS) organization, which Jada is very supportive, also paid tribute with an original spoken word poem.
Songstress Alicia Keys salutes her mother Terria Joseph, by giving a tearful dedication and performance of her song that she wrote for her mom, “If I Ain’t Got You.” To make it even more personal, she changes the words to “If I Ain’t Got You, Mama.”
Rita Ora celebrates her mom Vera Sahatçiu, a Kosovo refugee and breast cancer survivor by reading a heartfelt letter expressing her admiration and love.
