At the Summit21 conference in Atlanta last week, Tinka Knowles-Lawson opened up about how diligently she worked to help shape the careers and lives of both her daughters, Solange and Beyoncé. Tina started by saying that she made sure to divide her time with each of her girls equally. “One thing I’m really happy I did was I gave each of my kids a day. As Solange got older, I would spend Wednesdays with her and help with homework and do those types of things and just devote that day to her, and then one day to Bey,” Ms. Tina shared. “It really works because it makes them feel [good] you know because kids, no matter how much you give them love and attention, it’s never enough. I mean I’m sure, everybody who has kids knows, you can take them to Astroworld to eat, and they’ll still say, ‘Well what else we gon’ do?'”
