Tina Knowles will soon share her life story with fans.
On Tuesday, Oct. 29, Knowles took to Instagram to announce she has a new memoir coming out this spring titled, Matriarch, through Random House’s One World imprint.
The mother of Beyoncé and Solange Knowles noted in her statement that she wants her daughters to “know where they came from.”
“I have always been a storyteller, and it’s something I learned from my mother. 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,” Knowles said.
“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,” she continued.

Knowles, who is also known for her fashion labels House of Dereon and Miss Tina, as well as her work in the film and TV industry, also explained the title of the book.
“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 said.
“Even at 70, I am still learning valuable lessons — revelations that I wish that I would have had at 40 or even 20. I want to share this knowledge now, one to one with the reader, as we laugh and sometimes cry together through all the stages of our lives,” she added.
Not surprisingly, Beyoncé took to social media to congratulate her mom.
“Mama, I couldn’t be prouder. My love for you goes beyond what I can say. 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,” wrote Beyoncé.
The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer also joked, “But please don’t spill too much Mama Tea.”
Matriarch will be released on April 22, 2025.
