The former Destiny’s Child stylist shared some fun facts about her memoir. That it wasn’t going to be a memoir initially, and as she began telling her story it became one. She expresses:

‘I was going to do a behind-the-scenes type thing with Destiny’s Child and just with the entertainment industry…I was like, it’s time to do a memoir, because I want to leave that legacy for my kids. But I also want to encourage young people and older people to go and record their parents and get those stories’.

Overall, the ‘Matriarch’ storyteller’s story has been a rollercoaster. She says:

‘It’s been amazing, an amazing ride. I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world’.

Congrats Mama Tina!
