Found an article about my great-great grandmother’s funeral that I’ve never seen before so #BlackHistoryMonth is off to a fantastic start.

The women I come from…🤌🏾 ✨ 🧬

Thanks to some DNA matches, I am researching Choctaw and Chickasaw Freedmen in the Indian Territory for the first time and WHEW BUDDY is this different from what I’m used to! It’s challenging and I love it. 💕

Tina Turner's final words to Angela Bassett: "Her final words to me — for me — were ‘You never mimicked me. Instead, you reached deep into your soul, found your inner Tina, and showed her to the world.’"

Angela Bassett and Tina Turner Bassett, who earned an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Turner in the 1993 film, told THR in a statement of Turner: “How do we say farewell to a woman who owned her pain and trauma and used it as a means to help change the world? Through her courage in telling her story, her commitment to stay the course in her life, no matter the sacrifice, and her determination to carve out a space in rock and roll for herself and for others who look like her, Tina Turner showed others who lived in fear what a beautiful future filled with love, compassion, and freedom should look like.” Bassett continued, “Her final words to me — for me — were ‘You never mimicked me. Instead, you reached deep into your soul, found your inner Tina, and showed her to the world.’ I shall hold these words close to my heart for the rest of my days. I am honored to have known Tina Turner. I am humbled to have helped show her to the world. So on today, while we mourn the loss of this iconic voice and presence, she gave us more than we could have ever asked. She gave us her whole self. And Tina Turner is a gift that will always be “simply the best.” Angels, sing thee to thy rest…Queen.”
