The mic is ON and MOTHER is HERE. TS Madison kicks off Outlaws with Ms. Tina Knowles—fashion icon, businesswoman, and, now, the New York Times #1 bestselling author of Matriarch.

They look back on what inspired Ms. Tina to finally write her book, the moment she knew her children were destined to be superstars, the queer legacy of Uncle Johnny, the poignant stories behind the names Beyoncé and Solange, and a July 29th revelation that moves Ms. Tina, and all of us, to tears. From nights out at Galveston's Kon-Tiki Club to divine signs from ancestors—this is a can’t-miss premiere episode that marks the powerful debut of "Outlaws" and the arrival of TS Madison as one of the great interviewers of our time.

Get cozy. Get into it. And get "MATRIARCH" by Tina Knowles.

Outlaws is proud to be a part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment.
