I'm Megan, and this is Confessions of a Female Founder, a show where I chat with female entrepreneurs and friends about the sleepless nights, the lessons learned, and the laser focus that got them to where they are today. No. There's something incredible about a young woman who is willing to roll the dice on herself, be an entrepreneur, and build.
Let's say you're in your 20s and you start doing that. Let's say you're in your 30s. Let's say you do that in your 30s and 40s as a working mom and you're trying to figure it out. There is something where I just put my hands up and applaud all of you who are doing the thing. And then there is something that gets a standing ovation.
And that is when you are in your 70s and you say, I'm still going to build and I'm still going to invent and I'm still going to create. That is next level entrepreneurship. And that is why I am thrilled to have this guest on today. She knows it better than anyone else. I am talking about Miss Tina Knowles.
She's a fashion designer, beauty entrepreneur, cultural icon who has spent decades celebrating and elevating Black style alongside her daughters. From creating a one-of-a-kind hair salon in the 80s to designing looks for Destiny's Child, Miss Tina, she's always been a force in business.
And now she's channeled that into Sacred, the science-backed hair care line that she launched with her daughter, Beyoncé.
Together, the two of them have built something incredibly special, and Sacred has already racked up 30 industry awards all in just one year. Beyond her business success, though, Tina has written a new memoir called Matriarch, in which she shares the personal journey behind her family's legacy, her breast cancer experience last year, and building a life rooted in pride and purpose.
She is proof that being a mama mogul is not just a title. It's a blueprint for building something that lasts across generations. Here she is. Hi. Oh, how are you? I'm good. How are you? Good. I'm so happy to be sitting down with you. Oh, I'm happy to be sitting down with you. Thank you. Of course. I'm so glad you reached out. And I love seeing Yvette there.
I don't know if I wrote her a letter after I went to Bea's concert a couple years ago. She said the kindest things. I just wanted her to know how much it meant to me.
Tyler Perry.
Yes. Well, he's a good friend to have. He's the most extraordinary soundboard. And even, you know, it's interesting for us to be sitting down talking about business because he is that person that when I have questions about business or just when you feel like you're off your path, I need to check in with Tyler.
That will fill your cup. Tyler Perry can do that. Exactly. It's amazing, though, that at 70 plus, because I've talked to entrepreneurs on this program who are in their 20s. Yeah. Oh, I know. Oh, I know. I mean, literally, I'm sitting here in my 40s. Well, you know, Beyonce and I, I think just we're the same age. She's a couple of weeks. She's born in September, right?
And I'm in August this year.
Four this year. Are you a Virgo, too? I'm a Leo. H is a Virgo. You're a Leo. Okay. My mom's a Virgo. H is a Virgo. Oh, really? I'm surrounded by Virgos. Oh, okay.
It is such a good sign. It is. But look at you right now. I can't even imagine. You have so many plates spinning. I do. Does it feel as though even with the exhaustion, even with the swirl around all of it, does it feel like it's your time? Oh, absolutely.
An act of service. Exactly. Just at first glance, you go, that's the most giftable book in the world because you have to put that in someone's hands. It needs to be in everyone's home.
But I think the inside is really obviously the true gift, which is what your journey has been, obviously as a working mom, but as a female entrepreneur, which is why I'm so happy we get to talk and have this bonus episode. For people who are listening, especially young women who want to start something, Do you think you have to find yourself first and then be able to find your business?
Or you can find your business and through that business you start to find yourself?
I mean, that's really helpful because a lot of people would say you need to know yourself before you know what you're going to start. But it seems like we're all kind of figuring it out along the way. And also we evolve as women. And the chapters of being a mother evolve. I mean, Archie turns six tomorrow. Where did the time go? Where did the time go?
I remember carrying him out there and I was just like, he is now six years old. We had his birthday party yesterday. But you look up and really, I think everything is in constant fluid motion. But the common denominator is you knew even when you had a salon back then to now having sacred in this moment in time, the connective tissue is the same.
That's right.
