The greatest challenge in Talibah’s life now is witnessing her mother live with dementia. Although
Bey’s struggle has been an emotional journey, the singer believes that compressing inner battles
isn’t a way to gain support and grow. For when she encounters rough waters, that’s when she finds
clarity to write a good song.
But Talibah witnesses Bey on good days, too. The songstress that once belted “I Never Knew” can
sing and groove when she’s present. This has taught her daughter the art of patience and gratitude.
“I miss my mother and miss spending time with her,” Talibah says, wiping water from her eyes.
“I am learning to appreciate each moment as it comes as opposed to just taking it for granted
because you can’t get it back.”
