Tina Turner was the first Black woman to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Instead of piecing together this word salad mess of a tribute, they could have called her what she was, the Queen of Rock and Roll. https://t.co/FyDwTAkLTJ pic.twitter.com/E0gkJsgyPU

Tina Turner picked cotton as a young girl. She survived being abandoned by her mother and father; racist Jim Crow laws; an horrific, abusive marriage to partner Ike Turner; and a music industry all too eager to bury her. Tina didn't just survive it all. She SOARED. GIANT. pic.twitter.com/2BIaYMEl7E

Leaders don’t always come from politics or business. #TinaTurner was an inspiration for the entire world. She role-modeled resilience and joy after enduring decades of abuse and heartbreak. That’s not just leadership, it’s also heroism. She was simply the best… of all time.
