Beyoncé, the renowned global music icon, has taken to social media to express her profound pride in her mother, Tina Knowles, after the monumental success of her memoir, “Matriarch”.
The heartfelt tribute follows the book's remarkable achievement of securing a spot on The New York Times bestseller list, solidifying Tina’s narrative as a significant addition to the literary canon.
In a touching Instagram post, Beyoncé shared her excitement, writing, “The Mama T was that good?? Ha. You deserve it, I’m so proud!”
Tina, in an adorable reply, conveyed her gratitude with a simple, heartfelt, “Thank you, my baby.”
“Matriarch” draws readers into a touching exploration of strength, motherhood, black pride, and identity - central themes that Tina holds dear.
The memoir opens with her vivid recollections of growing up in 1950s Galveston, where she was the youngest of seven, surrounded by the warmth of family and the backdrop of classic Motown sounds.
However, as the realities of race and the complexities of girlhood unfolded, she yearned for a broader world beyond her childhood.
Tina’s narrative is not just a personal story; it is a transformative journey marked by grief, creativity, romantic trials, and the nurturing of superstar children, encapsulating a rich tapestry of family love and heartache.
The memoir serves as an inspiring testament to resilience, illustrating the creativity and will required for a girl from Galveston to reshape the world.
During the book launch, Tina expressed her hope to impart the wisdom she has harvested throughout her life.
“Even at 70, I am still learning valuable lessons - revelations that I wish I would have had at 40 or even 20,” she shared.
Through her writing, she aims to forge a deeper connection with her readers, offering time-tested insights that transcend generations.
By sharing her own experiences and the knowledge handed down from her ancestors, Tina seeks not only to empower women but also to equip the next generation with the tools to navigate their journeys with grace and resilience.
“Writing this book is a vital act of connection, bridging the gap between past and present,” she added, fulfilling her desire to nurture a community of strength and wisdom.
