Must See: Beyonce’s Mother Tina Knowles Shares Inspiring Life Story

Published: Sunday 5th Oct 2014 by David

As her daughter Beyonce sits atop Pop’s throne with the help of many an empowering hit, her mother Celestine Beyince‘ (AKA Tina Knowles) has stepped into the limelight to share her story Texas Women’s Empowerment Foundation. 

It was there, in a bid to inspire those in attendance, did Beyince’ tell the story of her life, taking her audience back to her humble beginnings in Galveston, Texas, the cruelty she suffered at the hands of the Catholic school her parents worked as indentured servants to place her in, and her marriage to businessman Mathew Knowles.

Unfortunately, contrary to the image thrown to the masses during Destiny’s Child‘s earlier years, Tina revealed that the marriage was anything but a happy one, taking a turn for the worse she learned she was pregnant with the baby that would grow up to become Beyonce.

A remarkable story below…

Truly inspiring.

While Beyonce’s pro-girl stance have at times seemed “gimmicky” to those unaware of her background, we’re sure her critics will let out an understanding “oh” once they see the above.

For, we’d challenge anyone not to be moved by the fact that the singer’s career has seen her put music to her mother’s story.

The importance of financial dependence in ‘Independent Women (Pt 1).’

Motherhood during marriage in ‘Mine.’

Betrayal in the seemingly shallow ‘Ring the Alarm’ or the emotive ‘Resentment.’

When one sees her from this angle (through eyes of her mother), it’s become pretty apparent that the agreeable, politically correct and at times boring Yonce is anything but, far braver and authentic than her own fans may even realise.

    The woman who taught YAWNce how to be a lying, stealing fraud. You must be one proud Mama. You should’ve focused more on basic English. I know mentally disabled people who speak more eloquently than YAWNce.

      Oh just STFU already!

    • Beysus October 5, 2014

  2. Unbiased October 5, 2014

    Go Tina! Very inspiring story

  3. S****** Blonde October 5, 2014

    She has masculine features, regal woman tho, question to the Beyhive:
    It is true that Beyoncé is Haitian?

    • Skyfall October 5, 2014

      She’s part French Creole, NOT Haitian

      • S****** Blonde October 5, 2014

        Creole are blacks too, some people say she is half white but both her parents are black, i know her mother have some white ancestors but she herself is not half white since both her parents are also black, there’s nothing wrong with being Haitian.

      • Sass October 5, 2014

        No one said they weren’t black. And who on earth said Beyonce was half white? She has not one white parent. But Beyonce is French creole mix still.

    • TRUTH SERUM October 5, 2014

      And your constant riding a Bey is very feminine. It’s possible that she could be Hatian because of the mulatto hatian migration into New Orleans. We often say Creole because it’s such a mix. Some of the people in New Orleans even have Latino ancestry by way of Honduras. Hence the reason some of us speak Spanish as well. All in all, still AfricanAmerican which is all inclusive.

      • S****** Blonde October 5, 2014

        Ok, thanks for the info, if science is right, then we all have Africa inside us.

    • Stephon Maurice Jackson October 5, 2014

      Hmm I was thinking the same thing about Angelina Pitts long gaunt masculine horse face. #KeepItCute

      • S****** Blonde October 5, 2014

        The most beautiful woman in the world, let’s not, you’re making a fool of yourself.

      • Stephon Maurice Jackson October 5, 2014

        I love your dedication to THAT woman…

      • S****** Blonde October 5, 2014

        That woman is an angel, an angel.

      • Stephon Maurice Jackson October 5, 2014

        Satan was an angel too… So, I believe you.

  6. Keri Qween October 5, 2014

  7. TRUTH SERUM October 5, 2014

    Some people just don’t know when to just let it go. I sort of hate when Sam post articles like this because the commenters on here are to ignorant to appreciate anything outside of shading artist. It was an empowering message that I’m sure many women will benefit from. Go Ms. TIna!!!

  8. Cici’s goodies October 5, 2014

  9. Skyfall October 5, 2014

    I can’t believe I missed the Adele post, the hive are so pressed by everybody accomplishing success and surprising their fav in sales, acclaim, or talent.

    • Sass October 5, 2014

      *Scans post* I don’t see this ‘pressed hate you speak of.

  10. Skyfall October 5, 2014

    Adele was awarded an Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list for services to music, and she received the award from Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace

    • S****** Blonde October 5, 2014

      Not impressive, if isn’t from her Madgesty, then it’s not a big deal, lol.

  11. Slay_Hive October 5, 2014

    I’m confused. Did the Hive say anything negative about Adele. The only comment I saw was “Beyonce makes more than her” Which is basically the truth.

    Don’t group the Hive together, because you don’t like what they have to say.
    Everybody hollering hive this, Hive said this, are obviously bothered by the Hive. Why do some of the Hive’s opinions bother you??

    Is it because are fave is the standard? kii

    • Slay_Hive October 5, 2014

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your
    blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got
    to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way
    of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for
    only having one or two images. Maybe you could space
    it out better?
