MATRIARCH: An Evening With Tina Knowles, Family & Friends Set For Tour
Today, American businesswoman, fashion designer, art collector, and activist Tina Knowles’ announced the live tour for her highly anticipated memoir, MATRIARCH, to be published on April 22 by One World, an imprint of the Random House Publishing Group. Produced by Live Nation, the nine-city book tour will kick off in Washington, DC at The Theater at MGM National Harbor on Wednesday, April 30 with special guest Michelle Obama joining Ms. Knowles as the moderator for the evening. She will then continue with stops in Los Angeles, her hometown of Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Toronto, Chicago, and Brooklyn, before concluding in London, UK on Wednesday, June 4 at Southbank Centre (Royal Festival Hall).
Throughout the nine-city run of dates, Ms. Knowles will be in conversation with legends, icons, and friends—the full list of moderators will be announced at a later date. Through heartfelt conversations, laughter, and unforgettable moments, each event will be a unique and intimate celebration of Ms. Knowles’ experiences, relationships, and the influences that have shaped her life.
“I’m so excited to take Matriarch on the road and extend the conversation beyond the pages. Storytelling has always been a part of who I am—something I learned from my mother—and now, at 71, I finally understand who I truly am. This journey has been about strength, motherhood, family pride, and identity, and I hope these conversations help others embrace their own stories and celebrate the power of knowing what we deserve.” – Tina Knowles

Tina Knowles, the mother of iconic singer-songwriters Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Solange Knowles, and bonus daughter Kelly Rowland, is known the world over as a Matriarch with a capital M: a determined, self-possessed, self-aware, and wise woman who raised and inspired some of the great artists of our time. But this story is about so much more than that.
Matriarch begins with a precocious, if unruly, little girl growing up in 1950s Galveston, the youngest of seven. She is in love with her world, with extended family on every other porch and the sounds of Motown and the lapping beach always within earshot. But as the realities of race and the limitations of girlhood set in, she begins to dream of the world beyond. Her instincts and impulsive nature drive her far beyond the shores of Texas to discover the life awaiting her on the other side of childhood.
That life’s journey—through grief and tragedy, creative and romantic risks and turmoil, the nurturing of superstar offspring and of her own special gifts—is the remarkable story she shares with readers here. This is a page-turning chronicle of family love and heartbreak, of loss and perseverance, and of the kind of creativity, audacity, and will it takes for a girl from Galveston to change the world. It’s one brilliant woman’s intimate and revealing story, and a multigenerational family saga that carries within it the story of America—and the wisdom that women pass on to each other, mothers to daughters, across generations.
