By james art Knowles worked as a stylist for the superstar girl group Destiny’s Child and helped Beyoncé with outfits during her solo career, along with running a fashion label with her daughter.
The 70-year-old actress revealed Tuesday that she will release “Matriarch” as “a chronicle of family love and heartbreak, of loss and perseverance, and the kind of creativity and grit and desire that a girl from Galveston, Texas, needs to change the world”.
Shortly after the announcement, Beyoncé wrote on Instagram: “Mom, I couldn’t be more proud. My love for you is beyond what I can say.
“You put your heart into this book. I’m glad you’re sharing some of the stories that have shaped you into who you are. To know you is to love you. But please don’t spill too much Mama Tea.
Spilling the tea is a term used to describe gossip or personal information shared with someone else.
Matriarch will also touch on “the intimate and revealing story of a brilliant woman and a multi-generational family saga – and the wisdom that women pass on to each other, mothers to daughters, across generations.”
Knowles said: “When I had my own family, I believed that my daughters needed to know where they came from in order to know where they were going.
“I call this book Matriarch because what inspires me is the wisdom women pass on to each other, generation after generation—and the inner wisdom we long to discover within ourselves.
“Even at 70, I’m still learning valuable lessons—revelations that I wish I had at 40 or even 20. So I decided to tell my story because I know what it means to me and my daughters and future generations of women.”
She recently appeared with Beyoncé at a Kamala Harris campaign in Texas when they supported the vice president and Democratic presidential candidate to become the next leader of the United States.
Knowles was married to Beyoncé’s father and former manager Matthew Knowles until filing for divorce in 2009.
She was recently in a relationship with Beauty In Black actor Richard Lawson until 2023 when she reportedly filed for divorce.
Knowles released a lifestyle book Destiny’s Style: Bootylicious Fashion, Beauty, And Lifestyle Secrets From Destiny’s Child in 2002.
Matriarch will be released on April 22, 2025.
