Terri Lyons’ ‘I Am Lion’ roars for breast cancer awareness

The Trinidad and Tobago National Calypso Monarch 2020 and hat-trick Regional Queen of Queens Monarch (2022, 2023, 2024), Terri Lyons, is no stranger to the spotlight. A talented, charismatic, and vibrant product of entertainment royalty, she carries forward the legacy of her late mother, singer and performer Dionne Phillips, and her father, 10-time Road March title holder and multiple Soca Monarch champion Austin “Superblue” Lyons.

Beyond the stage lights, though, Lyons is deeply grounded in family and faith. She is the proud mother of one—her son Matthias, who mirrors her talent and flair for performance. “He’s my bundle of joy and best birthday gift, received on September 26–three days after mine,” Lyons said, describing the special bond they share.

This year, she celebrated her birthday in a simple but meaningful way. “Apart from embracing love from my son, I showed off my four crowns in unique fashion and thanked God for life, talent and health.”

That gratitude for health runs deep for Lyons, especially during October, Calypso History Month in Trinidad and Tobago, which coincides with International Breast Cancer Awareness Month. While she continues to honour her country’s musical traditions, Lyons is equally passionate about championing women’s health and wellness. Read more
