Smack dab in the middle of Beverly Hills, MADAMENOIRE’S social media manager, Tiffany Smith, got to glitz and glam with the best of them for the absolute best of causes. On March 21, Smith attended the 2024 Los Angeles Builders Ball® Presented by City National Bank. This event was organized by Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (Habitat LA) to raise awareness and funds for building homes and empowering families in our communities.


During the event, Smith was able to interview the mother of Beyoncé and Solange, the legendary Ms. Tina Knowles herself.

Ms. Tina Knowles told Smith, “I’ve seen the positive effect of Habitat For Humanity. I’ve built houses. I’ve contributed funds. It means hope to people that they have a place to lay their head. There’s nothing better than seeing those families’ faces when they move into their own home.” She continued, “With kids, you have to support whatever their dreams are. Make sure they have dreams and talk with them about it often. Reinforce it and try to help them in whatever they are interested in.”

In her role as Social Media Ambassador, the renowned Cynthia Bailey will leverage her powerful voice and extensive social networks to amplify Habitat LA’s work in raising awareness and funds to empower families and build strength and stability in communities through homeownership.


“I’m honored to use my platform and celebrity for such an amazing cause,” said Cynthia. “Personally, home is one of the most important things in your life because home is truly where the heart is.” When asked about her views on community healing, Cynthia added, “It’s all about helping each other.” Don’t count yourself out.” Her views on Black women succeeding in the industry, Cynthia added, “Black women can be very hard on themselves, and I would just say self love is the most important love. We pour so much into everyone else, don’t forget to pour into yourself.”

Until Next Time…
