The decision to share its history emerged approximately 12 years ago, when it began to document its experiences: “I started, probably about 12 years ago, simply recording my story, something that I think everyone should do, for my great -grandchildren, because for some reason, I began to think about the fact that I never met my grandparents and in the story I compiled for my mother,” He said, referring to his late mother, Agnes Buyincé. An interesting detail: the difference in the surnames is due to an administrative error in the hospital at the time of his birth. Even initially thought of a book about Destiny’s Child And the entertainment industry, but finally opted for an autobiography to leave their children a legacy and inspire others to preserve their family stories.
The publication of “Matriarch” not only reveals a fascinating family history, but also highlights the importance of collective memory and the need to document life experiences for future generations. A book that undoubtedly promises to be much more than a simple story; It is a legacy.
