Oprah Selects Tina Knowles' Memoir 'Matriarch' for Book Club

Oprah Winfrey has chosen Tina Knowles' memoir, 'Matriarch,' as her latest Book Club selection, highlighting the book's deeply personal yet universal story of resilience and family legacy. The memoir traces Knowles' journey from her upbringing in segregated Galveston, Texas, to raising her superstar daughters, Beyoncé and Solange, and candidly explores her experiences with motherhood, fashion, and overcoming personal challenges, including a previously undisclosed cancer battle. Winfrey and reviewers praise the memoir for its honest storytelling and ability to resonate with anyone who has experienced motherhood or familial bonds. Knowles expresses both excitement and anxiety about sharing her story, hoping it inspires readers to reflect on their own family histories and to value their legacies. The book's selection is especially meaningful for Knowles, who describes receiving Oprah's endorsement as a deeply emotional and validating moment. 'Matriarch' is also being promoted through a book tour, with events featuring notable figures such as Kelly Rowland.
