The Knowles sisters – Beyoncé AND Solange – are COMING! And we know this to be true thanks to Mama Tina Knowles-Lawson. Find out what she said, plus deets on what Solo is cooking up inside…
By now, we all know Mama Tina Knowles-Lawson is known to let the “cat out of the bag” a little early sometimes when reporters ask her questions about her daughters. Or even spilling tea on social media.
During her appearance at the Billboard Music Awards (where she was tapped to present), Mrs. Lawson revealed in a backstage interview that Beyoncé and Solange have new projects coming down the pipeline. You read it right, the Knowles sisters are coming!
“My daughter is busy working on something exciting as usual,” said Mrs. Lawson. “Both of my daughters are—all three of my daughters.”

New projects from all three of her daughters?! Sounds like Kelly Rowland has something in the works as well.
No clues on what Bey is working on just yet. However, we now know what Solo is working on.
Solo’s Saint Heron – a multidisciplinary institution reverencing the spiritual act of creation, through its preservation and collection of vital works in art and design – is expanding in a major way.
The Root reports:
According to a press release, the cultural institution is now set to evolve into a multidisciplinary platform which will include a creative agency and studio. Continuing its goal to “preserve, collect and uplift the stories, works, and archives that amplify vital voices within communities,” Saint Heron will also debut its first-of-a-kind digital dossier, highlighting both “literary and visual retrospectives of radical family and artist lineages.” Contributions from emerging photographers, sculptors, artisans and designers will be showcased as well as literary exhibitions featuring artists and educators like Ilyasah Shabazz, Barbara Chase-Riboud, Shala Monroque, Cassi Namoda, Helga Davis and Okwui Okpokwasili, and archives from Womack & Womack and composer Charles Stepney.
Additionally, Saint Heron supporters can also expect to see the expansion of its art gallery, Small Matter, which houses various cultural expressions of futuristic designs as well as the Saint Heron Holism Project, an initiative built to bring holistic therapeutic healing and support to women, girls and communities of color.
Sounds like good things are in the works for Saint Heron supporters who love art. And Solo is excited about it.
“Worldmaking has been a huge part of my practice,” Solange explained in a statement. “The idea of leaving behind cities, meccas, and universes that were occupied and celebrated by bodies, voices, celebrations and rituals to be discovered down the line. As we transition to an institution, the answer and the vision become abundantly clear. We are creating a legacy where we not only continue the work we have already built, but preserve collections of creators with the urgency they deserve. Together we want to create an archive of stories, and works we deem valuable.”
She concluded, “We want to open up these works publicly, and make them accessible to students, and our communities for research, engagement, and consumption so that the works are integrated into our collective story and belong and grow with us. We are creating an embodiment of living testaments to the glory of expression, and how that recharges and reaffirms the reverence we hold for our own cultural and artistic worth. We look forward to furthering the pursuit of authenticity that empowers the stories of our people.”
So…y’all better gather your coins because the Knowles sisters are gearing up to snatch wigs.

Mrs. Carter wished Lauryn Hill and Lenny Kravitz a Happy Birthday with their throwback flicks.
And she sent a sweet birthday and “Welcome to Motherhood” message to Naomi Campbell recently as well. Gotta love Bey!
