She Walked Away With Nothing And Won Everything

She Walked Away With Nothing And Won Everything

For sixteen years, her husband beat her.

But that night, Tina Turner washed the blood from her face, wrapped a cloak around her bloody clothes, covered her swollen eyes with a pair of sunglasses, and put a scarf on her head because the swelling was so severe that she couldn’t wear her wig.

She ran out of the hotel, hid among the garbage cans, and then ran off to another motel, where she begged for a room.

All he had was 36 cents and a gas card.

But after sixteen years of cruelty, she finally abandoned Ike Turner.

Let’s be clear, it wasn’t easy.

She was so concerned for his safety that she stayed with friends, paying her rent by cleaning the house.

He had nothing left, so much so that he had to use food stamps to eat.

And yes, it is incredible that Tina Turner rebuilt her career from scratch.

But what’s even more incredible is the battle cry she repeated in her head the battle cry that gave her strength: “I’ll die before I go back.”

Never forget this: no matter how deep the drama you experience, you can always find a way out.

In their divorce, Tina Turner gave Ike almost everything. All their money. And the royalties for his compositions: “You take everything I’ve done in the last sixteen years,” she said, “I’ll take my future.”

Tina will regain all the success she deserved, shining brighter than ever, filling stadiums at concerts, making films, winning awards, and even finding love again, a man who, for the first time in her life, respects and cares for her, so much so that he donates a kidney when she needed it.

This great woman is not only an example of grit and strength on stage, but above all in life.

Let’s share her story so that all women in difficulty can have the same hope and tenacity to get back up.

Immense Tina Turner!
