Tina Knowles’ New Book “Matriarch”: A Glamorous Tale from the Mother of Beyoncé
If anyone knows how to build a brand, it’s Tina Knowles. She’s got a daughter who’s basically a global icon and another who can belt out a tune like it’s nobody’s business. So, it makes perfect sense that she’s now launching her own career as an author. Get ready, world – the matriarch herself is releasing a book! Here’s the juicy scoop on Matriarch, which suspiciously sounds like a title more suited for a superhero than a memoir.
Random House Publishing Group just signed on to release Tina’s memoir, and the book hits shelves on April 22. Now, when you hear the word “matriarch”, you might envision a wise elder casting spells in a family drama or the wisecracking aunt who knows all the family secrets – well, let’s be honest, Tina probably is both! This book is described by the publisher as the story of a “determined, self-confident, self-aware and wise woman who raised and inspired some of the greatest artists of our time.” That’s not a vague marketing line – that’s a full-on Oscar nomination waiting to happen!
The publisher said it would tell the story of a “determined, self-confident, self-aware and wise woman who raised and inspired some of the greatest artists of our time.”
And let’s face it, folks, she’s not wrong there. If you’ve ever tried to avoid hearing “Single Ladies” at a wedding, you’d know that meme-worthy iconic status comes at a price—like navigating life with Beyoncé and Solange! What we’re really asking is: will this book have juicy behind-the-scenes gossip? Because we all want to know if Tina knew what was going on during that infamous elevator incident. Move over, *The Real Housewives*—Tina’s about to give us real family drama!
In a statement, Knowles proudly declared, “I’ve always been a storyteller, and that’s something I learned from my mother.” Oh, and this is a clear nod to the beloved tradition of familial wisdom. “When I had my own family, I thought my daughters needed to know where they came from to know where they would go.” It’s a lovely idea, and let’s hope that story includes a few tips on how to slay on stage while wearing high heels that could double as weapons!
Tina went on to say, “I call this book Matriarch because what inspires me is the wisdom that women pass on to each other, from generation to generation.” My favourite part? She’s still learning valuable lessons at 70—good news for all of us who are still figuring out how to work the toaster! This sounds suspiciously like she’s about to drop some knowledge bombs about navigating motherhood, artistry, and life in the fast lane.
To add some glam to the mix, Tina was recently honored by Glamour magazine as one of their Women of the Year, and who do you think was there cheering her on? That’s right, Beyoncé! Talk about a powerful family gathering… did anyone try to outshine the other at this award ceremony? At least we’ll have a chronological account of the fabulous family history, and I’m sure lessons will treat us to a few laughs along the way.
Matriarch will be published under Random House’s One World imprint, which has previously launched works by none other than Ta-Nehisi Coates and Trevor Noah – now that is some killer company! If Tina can weave her life’s tapestry as masterfully as she stitches together outfits for her girls, we’re in for a wild ride through family lore, life lessons, and perhaps a few missed buses on the way to success.
Tina Knowles, renowned fashion designer and mother to musical icons Beyoncé and Solange Knowles, has officially partnered with Random House Publishing Group to unveil her upcoming book titled Matriarch, which translates to “matriarch” in French. This exciting collaboration promises to capture an intimate portrayal of Knowles’ life and influence.
The publisher has revealed that the book will delve into the life of a “determined, self-confident, self-aware and wise woman who raised and inspired some of the greatest artists of our time,” hinting at the profound impact of Knowles’ lineage on the music industry.
The book is due out April 22.
“I’ve always been a storyteller, and that’s something I learned from my mother,” Tina Knowles shared in a heartfelt statement on Tuesday. “When I had my own family, I thought my daughters needed to understand their roots to navigate their futures effectively.”
“I call this book Matriarch because what inspires me is the wisdom that women pass on to each other, from generation to generation, and the inner wisdom that we aspire to discover within ourselves,” she explained. “Even at 70, I’m still learning valuable lessons that I would have learned at 40 or even 20. So I decided to tell my story, because I know what it means for me, my daughters and future generations of women.”
Tina Knowles was recently celebrated as one of the esteemed Women of the Year by Glamour, with her daughter Beyoncé proudly attending the ceremony in New York City to support her mother. Matriarch will be published under Random House’s One World imprint, known for featuring celebrated authors such as Ta-Nehisi Coates, Trevor Noah, and Cathy Park Hong.
