Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles, to share her story in upcoming memoir 'Matriarch'
Tina Knowles says she's ready to share her story and she'll be doing so in an upcoming memoir titled "Matriarch."
The businesswoman, designer and mother of Beyoncé and Solange Knowles recently announced her new book will be available April 22.
Knowles, affectionally dubbed Mama Tina by many fans, shared more details about her forthcoming project on Instagram, including an additional European version of her book cover.
"I have always been a storyteller, and it’s something I learned from my mother," she wrote. "When I had a family of my own, I believed that my daughters needed to know where they came from in order to know where they were going. I’m now ready to share my story with all of you, so that we can all celebrate these themes of strength, motherhood, Black pride, and identity."
Knowles wrote that as a 70-year-old, she wanted to impart lessons she wished she could have learned sooner.
"I am calling this book MATRIARCH because what inspires me is the wisdom that women pass on to each other, generation to generation — and the inner wisdom we long to uncover in ourselves," she wrote.
And of course, Knowles, who was recently honored during Glamour's Women of the Year event, seems to be making her lineage proud.
Beyoncé quickly shared her love and support for her mom's new venture on Instagram, saying "Mama, I couldn’t be prouder. My love for you goes beyond what I can say."
She added, "You put your heart into this book. I’m happy for you to share some of the stories that shaped you into who you are. To know you is to love you. But please don’t spill too much Mama Tea."
Knowles' bonus daughter and singer Kelly Rowland was also sure to share a big congratulations on her Instagram.
As fans know, Knowles has had a huge hand in the careers of her children dating back to the popular '90s girl group Destiny's Child. The fashion designer and philanthropist has worn many hats over the years. She recently teamed up with Beyoncé to launch the Cécred hair care line, which the Grammy-winning singer said she created to carry on her mom's legacy.
