00:00Wow, really nice to meet you.

00:04Oh my gosh, what an honor.

00:06Our inaugural Mother of the Year is here.

00:08I mean, how special.

00:10You've raised two beautiful, creative, talented daughters.

00:13How does it feel to get that recognition here tonight?

00:16Well, it's wonderful.

00:18You know, not just for me as a mother,

00:20but for all the mothers that have contributed

00:23and sacrificed so much so their kids can have their dreams.

00:27I think it's really cool that Billboard is doing this,

00:30and I'm very honored to be the first person.

00:33Absolutely, and tonight we celebrate women in music,

00:36but I also want to recognize women and mothers like you

00:39who play a key role behind the scenes in shaping today's superstars.

00:42So what was the most important word of support or advice

00:46that you gave Beyoncé and Solange on their path to success?

00:50Well, and Kelly Rowland, because I raised Kelly also.

00:55Just to stay grounded, stay humble,

00:59and treat people the way you want to be treated.

01:03The talent part they already had down,

01:05but I think them staying grounded has really helped them in their career.

01:10Absolutely, and it's very important to stay grounded

01:13and just make sure to always be humble,

01:15because when you're humble, more people appreciate that.

01:18Yes, and that's what a lot of people say about Solange and Beyoncé and Kelly,

01:23is that they're humble and they're great people to be around,

01:25and obviously a lot of that is a testament to you.

01:27Yes.

01:28That's the most important thing.

01:30Yes, absolutely, and so is support systems,

01:32and I can already tell that you had the best support system for your daughters as well.

01:37I tried. I tried my best.

01:39And kind of going off those lines with giving advice and staying grounded,

01:43what would you tell someone like 14-year-old Jazzy here?

01:46I know, I can't. She's so poised.

01:48So poised.

01:49I mean, she's already a superstar,

01:51a lot like Beyoncé and Solange were at her age.

01:54What would you tell someone like her as she's making her way up the industry?

01:56I would just tell her the same advice,

01:58just to stay grounded and just to work on your craft,

02:02like you're already doing.

02:04You are just very special.

02:06Thank you so much for that.

02:07Keep up the good work.

02:08It means a lot coming from you. Oh, my gosh.

02:10Well, thank you so much for your time, and that really means a lot to me.

02:12Yes, thank you. What an honor.

02:13So nice to meet you. Have a great night.

02:14Nice to meet you.
