"That’s a great observation. It’s absolutely true. When you have love for yourself and confidence, you are fabulous. Part of what you see is a woman who loves herself and you can tell in how she dresses and how she carries herself." (Tina Knowles with daughter Beyonce in Houston. She's also a grandmother for second time with Beyonce's baby girl Blue Ivy born Jan. 7.)
I've worked with Miss Tina many times over the past decade and had the opportunity to celebrate her achievements at the University of Houston for the Living Archives program. I interviewed her on stage in front of hundreds, including her family and daughter Beyoncé. It was an honor. Beyoncé even includes the photo I took with the two of them on her own web site.
