Because that's how the comparisons come.
Well, they are both so brilliant. Yeah. I had lunch with them, and I was just like, whoa. I mean, so confident and smart and talented.
They do, but it was just fascinating to hear them because they, it was. Those girls are, oh, I don't know what y'all all in for, but.
Yeah, we, you know, they were so smart, and they just grew up so fast, I guess because I wasn't around them all the time, and I remember when they were little.
But you know what I remember is how they are so patient and, well, I don't know about Malia. No, and I only say that because I've had. But we.
But I remember keeping those kids and how patient she was with the kids.
We talked about that. Yeah, yeah. I love that. I don't want to be your little friends. We can be friends later in life.
Yeah, because it's not all fun and games. And the other thing it sets you up for is for people to lie on you and create their own narrative about your life. I have to see it every day on social media. My girls didn't want me on social media for that reason. Tina be acting up on social media. I get in trouble all the time.
You know, I read something and it just makes me so angry and my fingers just start twitching and I can't control them.
And the ability to protect your kids is nothing worse than somebody lying on your kids and saying all this horrible, crazy stuff about them. And there's nothing you could do. Because as a private citizen, you get to go on a rant on Instagram and clap back. But for me, it makes the news. And then I get the phone call. It's like, can you just be quiet?
Oh, God, it did wonders for my self-esteem because I actually started my salon when I realized that I was totally dependent on my husband financially. And I felt like- That part, y'all. Yeah. And I felt like I wanted to get out of the marriage. And I was like, what am I going to do? I just felt so dependent. And it really did work on my self-esteem.
So I started making this plan to open my business. Now, I have to say that my ex-husband was the person who pushed me to go to beauty school. He was like, Tina, you're so talented, and you can have your own business. And so it wasn't a thing like I just snuck and did it. And he actually helped me, gave me the seed money for it. and was like the marketing mind behind it a lot of times.
But that salon allowed me the freedom to feel I was a boss. And it would have been great if I wasn't the boss, but that made it even better. And it was, I wanted it to be a very professional place. And my friend, one of my best friends, Cheryl, is here tonight too, Cruzo, who was always encouraging me to start the business as well.
And she and I used to go to the salon and we loved it, but they were, you know, selling chicken dinners and hot stuff and it was all this gossip going on and people would go, the stylists would go sit down and eat the chicken dinner and I'm like, I got to get home to my kid. I'd be in there for four hours.
I was like, I can't do this. And people liked the experience, but I didn't like the experience. I hated it, and she hated it, because she was a successful businesswoman. And so I started the salon, and I wanted it to be, we didn't allow any gossip. If you got gossip, you got fired immediately. We were professional. We dressed professional. Um and we got people in and out.
We educated the stylist on on technology and we mixed it with those old fashioned heating up some olive oil and putting egg whites in and you know all of the things that I knew the hair needed. But the main thing that happened in that place was just pure love, like camaraderie between women. Because when you provide a space that is positive without that negativity, it flourishes.
And people love it. And women flourish. So it was more than a salon. You know, it was a place of healing. Yeah, yeah. And not looking down, not judging anybody, just... It was church. That's what it was.
Long, long, long.
He's back. Many times. That's what Oprah says. She was like, girl. I was like, again?
Well, I just think that people have, not that I was not flawed, but I just think people have their demons. And Matthew has some demons, but I never doubted for one minute that he didn't love me and those girls. And that he didn't take care of me, he protected me.
