Beyonce and Solange tell me off all the time': Tina Knowles on raising superstars, surviving cancer and growing up under segregation
Briefly

Tina Knowles began dictating her life story a decade ago to preserve her history for her grandchildren. Growing up poor and in a segregated Texas, her upbringing was vastly different from that of her grandkids, who are raised in wealth and fame. Initially, Knowles aimed to write a behind-the-scenes account of her costume designs for her daughters, Beyoncé and Solange. However, her early life stories emerged instead, leading to her memoir 'Matriarch,' where she narrates her journey from poverty to becoming an influential matriarch, supporting her daughters amid their fame.
"I can still be respectful and not tell their story, but tell my story." This perspective showcases Tina Knowles' desire to share her own narrative while honoring her family's privacy.
"The result is her memoir Matriarch, a brilliant account of how a resilient little girl, born in terrible times, became a powerhouse..." This highlights her journey to success.
