Queen Latifah
March 18th, 1970 -
Rap
“Fresh & delicate From the Beginning
Queen Latifah, was born Dana Owens in
Rita Owens (her very loving and supportive mother) would set a
solid example of a hard working independent woman for the Queen to follow years
later. She witnessed her mother’s family dedication and consistent work while
they lived in a humble tenement in Newark Jersey.
The Wrath of Her Madness
In 1998, after being encouraged by her mother, Queen Latifah began
to make demo tapes featuring her rap talent. As fate would have it, this demo
tape would be instrumental in launching her career at Tommy Boy Records. Every
Queen has her wrath, her rage, her passion, her madness. Queen Latifah’s music/rap
career began earnestly in 1989 as she toured parts of Europe, and appeared at
the legendary Apollo theater in Harlem
Another single called “Ladies First”, embraced black women’s
contributions to the struggle for black liberation not only in the
Latifah’s greatest exposure to the world seems to have come from
the TV sitcom called Living Single.
In this show she portrays the character named Khadijha James. Khadijah is one
of four professional Black women trying to make it successfully in
As
the years go by, the Queen would go on to do more noticeable film roles. She would
also produce and guest-stars on a number of musical endeavors, establishes and managed
Flavor Unit artists, and continues to work for worthy causes, including the
ever important anti-drug campaigns.
A Queen & Her Court
Her image is one of beauty and class. Her presence and continued
upward rise to more success echoes the pride line of great African Queens and
Kings she comes from.
A Deeper Mysterious Beauty
“Something of a deeply good
nature resonates within
her that is just palpable enough to be perceived, and yet
leaving a certain mystery one can not quite
put their finger on.” – G. K. Holland
She has perhaps done more in the last decade than many to uplift a
more ‘real world’ and believable physical image of everyday women. Her indelible
mark of talent, business savvy and real world-ness makes her a ‘strong constant’
in the ever complex life equation for women and how they can relate to it in a
healthy successful manner. It appears that she has connected in a meaningful
and real way with women all over the world. Her beauty is undeniable,
compelling and attractive on more than one level. Her appeal touches ones mind
and spirit, which connects her to women of all ethnic backgrounds. Seen in the
above photograph at one of many awards galas, Queen Latifah’s beauty is nothing
short of radiant and calming, like an African sunset settling with a
hypnotizing cool breeze over the Sahara desert where it kisses the
Mediterranean sea. Something of a deeply good nature resonates within her that
is just palpable enough to be perceived, and yet it leaves a certain mystery
one can not quite put their finger on. Yet you know it is there, it is real, it
is kind, it is nurturing, it warmly welcomes you and her talent delivers it
right to you. In fact, she defies traditional beauty and that is always
refreshing and courageous when it can be done in a classy fashion. Her new
cosmetic line with Cover Girl says it all.
The Queen Collection
In a world and society where a slimmer woman is slim to the point
of being unhealthy, the Queen brings us back to a reality that ‘all women need
to be, and should be celebrated for their indelible right to be respected and
recognized as beautiful. In some deep invisible way, she just seems to carry
Mother Africa with her, and it embraces you with genuine warmth and care.
Somewhere along the way, somewhere in her journey if you happen to
intersect some place in time that you might meet her, or where she might meet
you (because after all, we are all special in God’s eyes), you can almost
imagine Kool and the Gang singing their hit song ‘She’s Fresh’ ever so smoothly
in the background, as Queen Latifah appears on the red carpet. Real people like
Dana Owens (Queen Latifah) gives one an opportunity to enjoy their journey just
that much more. To put it simply, to hear or see Queen Latifah’s talent is just
quite simply a ‘good experience’.
A Queen of Star Walkers
In one of the beginning episodes of Star Walker, an Ethesian Ken
Ju Kai named Trom Min travels from the other dimension to Mother Africa. There is
his mission to protect and intercept Sandow 3 and several Dret warriors from
stopping Star Walker Henry Dane (great great grandfather of 4th
