Such an inspiring read (well listen…I had the audiobook lol) but I feel like I’ve learned so much and was able to reflect in the moment on different parts of my life. I will be buying a hard copy to keep and be able to go back and feel and read the words that has inspired me to keep going on my journey of life.

“It was going to be a place that let a little Black girl know that she was beautiful. Not beautiful “too.” There was no need to factor in a certain criterion of beauty that centered whiteness. The pride should be based solely on her own self. Black is beautiful.”

Matriarch takes us through Tina Knowles childhood in Galveston, her early dreams, building her salon from the ground up, the heartbreak of divorce, and the quiet power of choosing herself….again and again. It’s a celebration of Black motherhood, legacy, and womanhood. A journey that reminds us that it’s okay to start over, to heal, and to shine without shrinking.

•••••

Matriarch is everything I didn’t know I needed. This memoir isn’t just about being the mother of icons….it’s about becoming one in your own right. Tina takes us back to her roots in Galveston, Texas, and shows how the strength, creativity, and stories of the women who raised her shaped the woman she is today.

•

She opens up about love, betrayal, motherhood, building a business, and finding herself after heartbreak. I truly admire her for being so vulnerable. From styling Beyoncé and Solange to fighting through breast cancer and rediscovering her worth, Tina reminds us that it’s never too late!

•

This book is a tribute to Black womanhood, resilience, and legacy. Tina didn’t just raise legends, baby she is one! I absolutely recommend this book.
