>> announcer: today on "tamron hall," a special mother's day celebration with beyonce's mom, tina knowles-lawson. plus, how moms are supporting our front-line workers and their communities. right now on "tamron hall." ♪ ♪ >> tamron: welcome to "tamron hall," from my home. today we are paying tribute to moms, or mama's, since i'm from the south. [laughs] is my first big "tamron hall" mother's day show as a mom, and we've been talking about this show forever. to be honest with you, i had envisioned a big show. giveaways, and audience packed with moms, but clearly that's not happening, given what we are

all going through right now. also, i've been thinking a lot about the people who have lost their mothers as a result of this pandemic. there are people who won't be able to see their moms, because they are in nursing homes, and many of us can't be with our moms because of the quarantine and social distancing. so, to my mom, who i miss so much, happy mother's day! we love you. to all the mothers out there, we want to send a big virtual hug that will very soon, we pray, turn into real hugs. throughout today's show, you're going to meet some amazing, courageous, and visionary moms. and i'm hoping all of you tam famers out there will share stories about your moms or people who are like mothers too. go go on social media, use the hashtag tam fam mom, and share a picture, and about what makes your mom so special. i can't wait to see the post. let's just lift up these great women in our lives. our first mom has been called a

matriarch of pop music's reigning family. oh, she runs the world, all right! she has not only made it her mission to serve and empower her hometown of houston, texas, she hais also a business woman, a fashion designer, and she just happens to be the mother of two very popular grammy award-winning artists, beyonce and solange. tina knowles-lawson joins us from her home in l.a. thank you so much. happy mother's day! >> thank you, seem to you! >> tamron: i'm so happy to have you! you understand, you've been on my wish list for a while. i admire so much about you. the last time i saw he was in february when solange got the lena horne prize for artists creating social impact. not long after that, we end up in this pandemic. how are your daughters and grandchildren? how are you all celebrating mother's day? >> well, everybody is fine, thank god. we have all been, you know, quarantining. and we have not had any contact,

outside contact. saturday, we got together from a distance, from 20 feet apart, which was the best. kelly was there, and her son. we all got tested, so we have gotten the results back and everybody is okay. i hope that we can get together this mother's day and have dinner together, and i can actually touch them for real. >> tamron: how does that feel for you? like i said, moses is here. we haven't seen my mom since march. no matter how close you are to your grandchildren, the relationship of a grandparent, it's a game changer. for a kid, not being able to be there for them. >> it makes me sad, especially on sunday, because that's the day we all do get together. on sunday morning, i've got the blues. spew what i understand that. i also note that you are very socially aware. we follow you on social media, even talking, as we have, a lot about the disproportionate

number of african-americans dying from covid-19. your career, you actually started out as a hairstylist. he owned a salon in houston. just this week in texas, our home state, we talked to this dallas salon owner who wanted to open up. she defied the stay-at-home orders. you also signed atlanta, i'm sure, the lines of people outside nail salons and hair sa. as a person who made your way in the beauty business, what do you say to the folks who are eager to get into the salons? >> i would love to get those things done, too, but it's just not worth it when it comes right down to it. and i understand, it's more so that people need to make a living. the salon owners need to make a living. but i wish that we had waited a couple more weeks until it was on the downswing, because i don't think it's worth it. i think everybody could have survived for another couple of weeks. i don't think it's that urgent that you get in to get your nails and hair done.

there are other creative ways you can get out. >> tamron: miss tina, you talked about getting creative with this downtime. u.n. beyonce teamed up to launch this new campaign i've been reading about, called #ididmypart. it urges people in houston to get tested for covid-19. i know tyler perry, our friend, he so inspired he is doing the same thing atlanta. talk to me about why it's important to use your time and your name in this way with this particular campaign? >> you know, for so long we couldn't even get testing. now it's readily available. it will available after this event is over. i was talking to beyonce about it, she said, "mom, we need to do something." what kept coming up his people need to do their part. they need to go get tested. i thought of this campaign, and after -- which she supported. she said yes, her foundation, beygood. so we are having this event in houston, it's a two-day event at

two different locations. we are teaming up with procter & gamble, and matthew 25 ministry, atb, and we are giving cleaning products, personal grooming supplies, toilet paper, paper goods, masks, gloves. we even bought vitamins so people can get -- i understand how important vitamin d and vitamin c is. the thing is, we make up 33% of the people with covid, and 33% of the people that are dying with covid. and we only make up 13% of the population. it's a very scary situation for black and brown people, and it's to bring awareness to it. we also are giving out information that tells you how to take care of yourself during this time. and what to do if you do test

positive. >> tamron: i have to tell you, listening to all these things that you are doing for your home town of houston, all the other philanthropic things you've done for waco in the theater, i started thinking about the new beyonce remakes with megan thee stallion, the song, "savage," where she gives you shut up. "i'm a boss, i'm a leader, i got from my mom, i got it from tina." did you scream when you heard that line like the rest of us? "yes, tina for the win! yes!" [laughs] >> people started texting me and saying stuff about it. she didn't tell me anything about it. i was like, "what are they talking about?" and then everybody sent me the meme of me dancing. i wish it was my body and i was moving like that. i was like, "this is hysterical." i called her and i said, "thank you so much for my shout out!" and she said, "i just remembered 2-u driving up and you are
