Tina Knowles Breaks Silence On Breast Cancer Diagnosis And New Memoir

Beyoncé’s mama just pulled a major power move — and she did it with grace, grit, and a whole lotta glam. Tina Knowles is OUT here living her best life and telling her story on her own terms, honey!

At 70 years young, Miss Tina just dropped her tell-all memoir Matriarch and it’s already got the Oprah Book Club stamp of approval. Yep, you read that right. Queen O herself surprised Tina with the honor, leaving her in (happy) tears. “I was shocked,” Tina told CBS Mornings. “I thought they were playing a prank on me.” But nope — this is real life and it’s giving legacy vibes.

And let’s talk about the book. Matriarch isn’t your basic celeb memoir. According to reports, it dives deep — from her roots in Galveston, Texas, to raising two global icons (yes, Bey and Solo), plus all the drama, love, and strength that came with it. Tina spills the tea and serves the wisdom. Respect.

But Tina’s biggest flex? Beating breast cancer like a total champ. As first reported by People, she got diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer after missing a mammogram during the pandemic. Scary? Absolutely. But Tina handled it like the boss she is. She had surgery, she’s now cancer-free, and she’s using her platform to tell women: don’t skip those screenings. “It could save your life,” she said.

And you KNOW her fam showed up hard. Sources revealed that Beyoncé, Solange, and Kelly Rowland (who might as well be her third daughter) were by her side every step of the way. That’s real love.

Oh, and she’s not done. Tina’s hitting the road with her book tour, Matriarch: An Evening with Tina Knowles, Family and Friends. First stop? Sugar Land, Texas — and Kelly’s hosting. Expect laughs, tears, and maybe a surprise Knowles sister moment?

So yeah — Tina Knowles is not just Beyoncé’s mom. She’s that woman. Survivor. Style icon. Storyteller. And now, certified author with a golden ticket from Oprah. We stan a strong queen telling her truth. Loud and proud.
