Welcome To Friday!

We lost a matriarch this week and it still hurts. It’s kind of like a happy mourning in admiration of a well-lived life. A masterclass on turning a story of surviving into thriving.

At this big age, we are starting to lose our legends. At least I can say the Queen of Rock and Roll, Mrs. Tina Turner was given her flowers while she was still here and died in peace. Even in her passing, she did it on her terms which is so powerful because that is the legend of her life story.

As tributes started to pour in I was glued to the TV just based on how small yet how big of a person she was. She was captivating and did everything with such excellence and finesse. She was truly our first icon. So regal, so wise, such a trendsetter and boss.

I actually learned so much about her life through reading the stories other Black women were sharing about her online. We really are the supreme storytellers! 👑 Here are some of the beautiful words, Black women penned about their memories of Thee Tina Turner:

Rest In Power Queen,

Tina Turner, 1939-2023
