Welcome back to Speaking of Her. This week, it’s Jess' turn to tell the story, and we’re talking about Tina Turner — the unstoppable force of nature whose voice, resilience, and energy changed the landscape of music forever.
Born Anna Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tennessee, Tina's life was anything but easy. From her difficult childhood to her tumultuous marriage to Ike Turner, Tina’s rise to stardom was a journey marked by pain, perseverance, and triumph. But through it all, she became one of the most iconic figures in rock ‘n’ roll history, reinventing herself as a solo artist and blazing a trail for generations to come.
In this episode, we dive into Tina’s extraordinary life — from her early struggles and turbulent marriage to her meteoric comeback, her powerful performances, and her fight for personal freedom and self-discovery.
Tina Turner wasn’t just a singer; she was a survivor and a symbol of strength and reinvention. Her legacy is a reminder that no matter how hard the road, resilience can turn pain into power, and vulnerability into empowerment.
