Singer Ashanti shared pictures of herself with her mother, Tina Douglas, on Instagram after Mother’s Day, and her fans were struck by her mom’s beauty. The 41-year-old “Rock Wit U” singer shared the photographs on Instagram on May 10 with a sweet message to her mom.

Both ladies looked stunning in the picture and appear youthful while rocking black ensembles and plenty of diamonds.

“Words could never express the amount of love, respect, admiration, humility, strength, honor and loyalty that I have for you,” she wrote. “You continuously inspire me every day. Thank you for being my support system, my best friend, my protector and rock. When it’s my time if I have only an ounce of who you are as a mother I’d be forever grateful. Loving you infinitely. Happy Mother’s Day Ma!!!!!!!!!”

The beautiful post received a reply from Douglas, who was equally sweet in her response on Instagram and thanked her daughter for being the first ‘blessing from GOD’ and for giving her the honor of motherhood.

“Thank you!” replied Douglas. “The 1st Blessing from GOD – A Mothers Love is Unconditional – Thank you for being the motivation, strength and giving me the ability to do what I do every day ALL day without a thought! I Love that you are more than I could ever pray for You were the 1st to grant me the HONOR of the Title MOTHER…Love Mom.”

Ashanti also shared a throwback picture of herself with her mom and little sister, Kenashia Douglas, who is equally beautiful.

Fans replied in the comments section and several noted the ladies’ beauty. Several Instagram users also noted the singer and her mother looked more like sisters rather than mother and daughter.

“You ladies are all so so beautiful,” added another Instagram user. “Okayyy wait a minute is that your mom or your sister? So gorgeous,” noted another.

“WOW, Ashanti your Mom looks great, y’all could pass for sisters!!”

“Absolutely GORGEOUS QUEENS,” noted one. “Mom and Daughters… Really and Truly have alot to be thankful for,” wrote another fan. “All y’all fine ash.”

The singer also shared a video thanking her “momager” with the caption, “Screaming Happy Mother’s Day to THE ORIGINAL MOMANGER!!! The epitome of blood, sweat, tears, strength, class and success. Sending love to all of the AMAZING Mothers out there sacrificing so much everyday!!!!! s/o to @ashantisource for this amazing footage @theoriginalmomanger 📸 @weareoptimist @rcrnorthhills.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
