Tina Knowles is one of Glamour mag's Women of the Year — 'The Moms'

Beyoncé isn't the only cover girl in the Knowles family.

Tina Knowles has been named one of Glamour magazine's Women of the Year — "The Moms." She's part of a group alongside Donna Kelce (Travis and Jason Kelce's mom), Maggie Baird (Billie Eilish and Finneas O'sConnell mom) and Mandy Teefey (Selena Gomez's mom). They're on the cover together and talk all things motherhood during an interview.

Knowles says she's a mom of three: Beyoncé, Solange and Kelly Rowland , "a bonus daughter." She spoke about navigating motherhood, fame and her own life. Here's a rundown.

When she knew Beyoncé was a star.

I think Beyoncé was seven and her dance teacher put her in a talent show with bigger kids all the way up to high school. And I was like, That's not fair. She's only seven! We had put her in dance because she was shy, and I mean, she got on that stage and commanded the stage and my husband and I were like, Who is that? Because the confidence came in. I could see it. It was something that happened on that stage that I had never seen before.

The price of fame.

Solange just won't play the game. She'll just go shopping. But obviously that's not something that we can do with Beyoncé, and that's what I miss. I miss us going to the grocery store, going with my kids to eat at the cafeteria. You don't get to go to the mall anymore.

Mom always knows best.

Very early on, I started doing the girls' hair to earn my keep, so that I could travel with them because I wanted to protect them—not because I wanted to go and be on planes every day, because there was nothing glamorous about it, but it was to protect my kids. The industry can chew you up and spit you out. And I was determined that there were not going to be certain elements around them and that they weren't going to get eaten up by that. It just became my mission.

Her proudest moment as a mom.

I'm proud to say that I do see the things that I instilled in them—treat people well, do not get stuck on yourself—because we had some moments where I was like, "Listen, they can pick up their own suitcases." "You look people in the eye, say hello, don't turn into a diva. That's not going to work here." You have to teach your kids that. I don't believe that that's something that they just get, because everybody's trying to handle everything for them and kissing their butts sometimes. And I am like, "No, no, no, you're not helpless." So I'm most proud when they're good people.

Dealing with haters.

I take it with a grain of salt most of the time. It depends. You mess with my grandchildren, though, I'm coming. Because they're minors, and they didn't ask to be in this. I have gotten on and let people have a piece of my mind several times, but I take a lot and then there's certain things that I just have to draw the line on.
