Tai Beauchamp - The TV personality thanks her "regal" grandmother for introducing her to the world of cosmetics and her mother for teaching her about accepting her inner beauty and strength. "One of the things that my mom taught me was to believe in myself, believe in my own beauty and my own power and to know that there is nothing I can't accomplish. But most importantly, my mother has taught me about strength and resilience. She has persevered. She is such an amazing giver of life and love to so many people. That advice has really shaped my whole existence," explained Beauchamp.   (Photo: BET)/content/dam/betcom/shows/BReal/BReal_MothersDay_Kimberly_Paige_1.jpg
