Hello, my queens. I'm Zach Stafford, and you are listening to Vibe Check. And on this very

special episode, we're talking to none other than Miss Tina Knowles about her new memoir,

matriarch. And yes, the Tina Knowles, who birthed Beyonce, Salange, who's the grandmother to Blue Ivy, and all the other Knowles Carter kids, she and I sit down for, I think, beautiful chat about her family, her legacy, the matriarchy that is the Noel's Carter family,

and what she has learned while reflecting on her life as the mother to some of the most

powerful women in music, but also herself, one of the most powerful women who has shaped culture

that we don't give enough credit to. Before we jump in today's episode, we want to thank all

of you who continue to listen to the show each and every week.

And now let's get into my conversation with Tina Knowles.

Miss Tina Knowles, welcome to Vibe Check. It's so wonderful to have you here today with us.

Thank you for having me.

Of course, of course.

So you've long been the force behind the scenes of a cultural dynasty.

Your children have defined and redefined and created culture.

But as we learn in your book, Matriarch, you are that engine to so much of that.

And I'm just so happy to dive into this book with you today. It's already number

one in New York Times bestseller list, Oprah's Book Club pick. But beyond that, I was telling my

partner, it's just really good. I started it. And I just wouldn't. He was like, we have to go to

dinner. And I was like, no, I got to keep reading. This is incredible. So thank you for sharing it with us. I know you didn't have to, so I want to begin by saying thank you. Oh, thank you. So on our show, it's called Vibe Check. We like to begin with all guests by asking what's their vibe? So, Miss Tina, what's your vibe today? I'm guessing a bit tired. You just had your tour stop last night. Yeah, I'm a little physically tired, but mentally, I'm just psyched right now.

I'm so excited to have shared the book in that people had a warm reception to it.
