Do I add my Strength modifier to the damage of unarmed strikes if I have the Tavern Brawler feat?
From my understanding, the attack roll would be 1d20 + Proficiency + Str modifier. My question is about the damage roll. Would that be 1d4 + Str modifier, or just 1d4?

Absolutely
The SRD states clearly (whether you are a Tavern Brawler or not) that:(emphasis mine)
And when you take the Tavern Brawler feat:
That means the "1" in the above formula (the base damage) changes to 1d4 -- it does not say that it takes away the Strength modifier, so you still keep that modifier.
