101. Matriarch by Tina Knowles Part 1

Happy February!We are kicking off this month with the first installment of my thoughts on the book Matriarch by Ms. Tina Knowles. I have really enjoyed this memoir so far. Ms. Tina shares so much, and does a great job with chronicling pivotal moments in her life while also sharing much of her childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, and how all phases played a role in who she was a wife, and is as a mother and whole person. I share my thoughts after my personal update (10:12) and hope you listen to the end. I've re-lauched my Youtube channel! Subscribe and support!
