Tina Knowles Lawson Biography

Everyone seems to be considering Beyonce these days. However, her parents were her initial supporters. Beyonce's parents had such a strong faith in her that her father abandoned his job to manage Destiny's Child, while her mother Tina put in a lot of overtime at her hair salon to help the family get by. "It was quite difficult because we went from having two pretty fantastic salaries to having one," her mother reflects about that time. The home had to be shrunk. Sell the vehicles. For us, it was a really trying moment. Did others consider you to be crazy? "Oh absolutely, folks thought we were insane a lot more than we did," recalls Tina Knowles. They truly believed we were nuts. Beyonce's appearance as an unexpected celebrity didn't help. She was excruciatingly shy before speaking on the microphone. "She really came alive and just had all the confidence, so I was like, Wow who is that?" recalls Tina Knowles. That brought out her personality, so we pushed her to do it. But there were other setbacks along the road. On Star Search, Beyonce's first group came in last. Therefore, Beyonce's father worked even harder when Destiny's Child was founded, which was difficult for the marriage. According to Tina Knowles, "We split up because I thought he was a bit too driven at that point. Although I never had any doubts, I was just thinking, "You can't just quit living and do this and not take care of the family." They eventually reconciled, and shortly after with the help of their song "Say My Name," Destiny's Child signed a record deal with Columbia. Everyone now recognizes their name. Even success wasn't simple, though. Beyonce was held responsible for the band's breakups, which led to multiple reunions.
