Hey, this Lori Lakin Hutcherson, founder and editor in chief of goodblacknews.org, here to share with you a daily drop of Good Black News for Monday, February 14th, 2022, based on the “A Year of Good Black News Page-A-Day Calendar” published by Workman Publishing.
On this Valentine’s Day, we offer an inspirational quote from author, twelve-time Grammy® winner and two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Tina Turner, whose signature song is her number-one pop hit “What’s Love Got to Do With It”:
“Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go–purge yourself. I did that. I had nothing, but I had my freedom… [W]hatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.”
To learn more about Turner’s life and music, check out her 2018 bestseller My Love Story, her 2020 book Happiness Becomes You: A Guide To Changing Your Life For Good, her 1986 memoir I, Tina: My Life Story, which was adapted into the Academy Award nominated feature film What’s Love Got To Do With It? starring Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne.
Also, the 2021 documentary Tina is currently available on HBOMax and Hulu, and just this past week it was announced that Tina – The Tina Turner Musical will start a multi-city North American tour in the Fall of 2022. Fans can visit www.TinaOnBroadway.com to sign up for updates on upcoming tour news and announcements.
