Beyonce, Tina Knowles, & Blue Ivy Pose For Essence

Beyonce posed with her mother, Tina Knowles, as well as her children, Blue Ivy and Rumi, for a new interview with Essence. While the full issue will be available on shelves on February 27th, the publication shared the digital version on its website, on Saturday.

The majority of Beyonce’s interview with Essence centered around the release of her new hair care line called Cécred. At one point, Beyonce recalled going to the hair salon with her mother as a kid. “I have vivid memories of my mother working as a hairstylist right from our home,” she said. “She built a small salon at the back of our house, and I can recall catching glimpses of her while I watched cartoons or played with my dolls and toys. These moments are etched into every corner of my childhood memories. I saw her shampooing and trimming hair, transforming women, leaving them feeling really good. Looking back, it was more than just a hair appointment—it was therapy.”
