The 71-year-old mother of Beyoncé and Solange Knowles launched the book tour for her memoir, Matriarch, Wednesday, April 30, just outside of Washington, D.C., in Oxon Hill, Md. Former first lady Michelle Obama joined as her special guest for the evening, at which Parade was present (other announced guests throughout the tour include Keke Palmer, Gayle King, Tyler Perry and Tamron Hall).
The Matriarch book tour began on the heels of Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour, which kicked off Monday at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles with a three-hour, 36-song celebration of her Grammy Award-winning country album.
"We didn't plan it that way, but I wanted the book out for Mother's Day," Knowles said of the scheduling overlap.
"Hello, D.C., hello Michelle Obama and hello Tina Knowles," Winfrey animatedly greeted the audience. "This news just in, you're No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list! … Matriarch, No. 1!"
"It could have been stage 4 by the time I went," she said. "So I wanted people to think about that for a second. One of the best things to come from this is that on my Instagram, I can't tell you how many people said, 'I'm going to go get my mammogram (because of you).'"
Her daughters — along with "bonus daughter" Kelly Rowland and niece Angie Beyince — "became my team," Knowles added in the book. She's now cancer-free and advocating for others to be vigilant about getting tested regularly.
"This is genetics," he said in a 2019 interview with Good Morning America. "It also means my kids have a higher chance, a higher risk. Even my grandkids have a higher risk. And they handled it like they should: They went and got the test."
