“Born in the late 60’s, I grew up with the music of Tina, gospel and soul. I also sang in church. I consider playing the role of Tina’s grandma GG a great privilege. Tina’s energy, love of life and sheer determination at achieving her dreams, at a time when women didn’t have such opportunities.

Tina Turner, my mother, the strong women in my family, church and mentors in my life have been a powerful influence. They have inspired, advised, empowered, taught and protected me. I now do this for the women I encounter.”
