With humble beginnings singing along to R&amp;amp;B records at home, Tahirah grew up to become a highly sought-after vocalist. She has collaborated with musical heavyweights including kd lang, Esperanza Spalding and her father, Grammy-winning trumpeter Thara Memory. Tahirah also recently released her debut album, &quot;PRIDE&quot;. Now age 38, Tahirah artfully maintains a strong relationship with her 12 year old daughter while dividing her time between creating music in Portland and touring as a backup singer. In this episode we discuss Tahirah\u2019s upbringing in a musical household, single motherhood, and the support she receives from family and friends while out on lengthy tours.&amp;nbsp;I spoke with Tahirah in my home office in Portland, Oregon in September of 2017.
