Tina Knowles will tell her story in her memoir “Matriarch,” scheduled for release next year
NEW YORK (AP) — Tina Knowles will release a memoir next spring with a title that will not surprise her many admirers.
Fashion designer and Beyoncé’s motherSolange Knowles and “bonus daughter” Kelly Rowland have signed a take care of Random House Publishing Group to publish “Matriarch,” which the publisher calls in part the story of a “determined, self-possessed, self-aware and wise woman” who raised and inspired a number of the great artists of our time.
The book’s premiere is scheduled for April 22.
“I have always been a storyteller and I learned that from my mother,” Tina Knowles said in a press release Tuesday. “When I had my own family, I believed that my daughters needed to know where they came from to know where they were going.”
“I call this book ‘The Matriarch’ because I am inspired by the wisdom that women pass on to each other from generation to generation – and the inner wisdom that we long to discover within ourselves. Even at 70, I’m still learning valuable lessons that I would have learned in my 40s or even 20s. 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 honored as Glamor magazine’s Woman of the Year, and Beyoncé was amongst those in attendance on the ceremony in New York. “Matriarch” will be published by Random House’s One World imprint, which also includes Ta-Nehisi Coates, Trevor Noah and Cathy Park Hong.
