Matriarch
Matriarch
In her first-ever memoir, Knowles presents a celebration of feminism, identity and pursuing your dreams.
To understand the icons Beyoncé, Solange, and Kelly, you have to understand where they came from... A deeply personal and revelatory memoir by Ms Tina Knowles - as you've never seen her before.
Tina Knowles, the mother of icons Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Solange Knowles, and bonus daughter Kelly Rowland, is known the world over as a Matriarch with a capital M: the woman who raised and inspired some of the great artists of our time. But this story is about so much more than that.
For the first time ever, Tina Knowles shares her remarkable story in Matriarch. A life of grief and tragedy, love and heartbreak, the nurturing of her superstar daughters - and the perseverance and audacity it takes for a girl from Galveston, Texas to change the world.
This intimate and revealing memoir is a multigenerational family saga and a celebration of the wisdom that women, mothers, and daughters pass on to each other across generations.
A glorious chronicle of a life like none other and a testament to the world-changing power of Black motherhood.
