The businesswoman, designer and mother of multiple music icons first announced her book last fall.
“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, affectionately dubbed Mama Tina by fans, 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.
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.
