Tina Knowles, mother of Beyoncé and Solange, founder of House of Deréon, and Destiny’s Child stylist, spills some Tina Tea!

They dive into how she became a surrogate parent to Kelly Rowland, her beauty salon ingenuity, and the wisdom embedded in every rhinestoned Destiny’s Child costume. Plus: her marriage to disastrous dad-ager Mathew Knowles, her divorce-era glow-up, and why we’re begging her for a multi-cam sitcom.
