Move over Beyoncé and Solange, there’s another member of the Knowles family topping the charts. Tina Knowles’ forthcoming memoir is currently No. 1 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases in the categories of motherhood and family relationships.

Matriarch: A Memoir hits shelves next spring, Knowles announced Tuesday (Oct. 29). “I’m thrilled to announce that my memoir, Matriarch, will be publishing this April, and I’m excited to share its cover with you now,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I have always been a storyteller, and it’s something I learned from my mother. When I had a family of my own, I believed that my daughters needed to know where they came from in order to know where they were going. I’m now ready to share my story with all of you, so that we can all celebrate these themes of strength, motherhood, Black pride, and identity.”

Solange showed her support by sharing her mother’s post on her Instagram Stories with black hearts.

Beyoncé also shared the post on her Instagram Stories and congratulated her mom in a sweet message. “Mama, I couldn’t be prouder. My love for you goes beyond what I can say.”

Matriarch — available for pre-order at Amazon and Barnes & Noble — will be released on April 22, 2025.
