Queen Latifah Giveaway

ByMoe

One of my favorite curvy ladies is Queen Latifah. She is a multi-talented artist who has dipped her feet in music, acting, producing and writing. Her latest book, Put On Your Crown, is focused on improving the self-esteem of women. This month the Hatchette Book Group is the sponsor of the Five Favorite Things blog giveaway.
Put On Your Crown Book Cover

Modeled after Maria Shriver’s Just Who Will You Be, Queen Latifah’s goal with Put On Your Crown is to help young women build a strong sense of self-esteem. A US Dept. of Justice survey found that females ages 16-24 are more vulnerable to partner violence than any other group, almost triple the national average. Cases like Chris Brown’s assault on pop star Rihanna showed an ugly side of adolescent life. However, Queen Latifah has always been a shining example of a woman happy with herself and unwilling to compromise to fit into the “hollywood ideal” of what a confident beautiful woman should look like. The result: She’s one of the biggest A-list celebrities in Hollywood.

  1. my fave Queen movie is hard to choose between… i loved Set it off, Taxi, and the secret life of bees but if i had to choose it would be the Secret Life of Bees. She was PHENOMINAL in that movie!
    My fave songs of the Queen was the entire cd of her when she channelled her jazz side. I bought it for me, my mom and my grandma!!.
    And who can forget her role in Living Single. I stay watching that to this day.
    <3 her soo much!

  3. Favorite movie of Queen L…Hairspray! She had to take on the 60’s in respect to weight and race, and belt out all of the emtions in song! :o)

  6. Enter me please – my favorite Latifah song is none other than Ladies First, with Monie Love 🙂

  17. I loved Last Holiday and all it represented – live life to the fullest NOW! I loved Beauty Shop and the humor and how she delt with the issues in her shop -to funny! She is just awsome and such a great role model for girls/women! I would love to read about her.

  21. I LOVE QUEEN LATIFAH!
    I think I first started to love her on The Fresh Prince, though. She was in an episode where Will really liked her but was embarrassed to admit it because she’s a big girl… And she was all “So what, you shallow dolt!” and it was really inspiring for me at the time, as a chubby kid 🙂

  24. I really enjoyed that movie The Last Holiday. She was in a tv series maybe it was called Single Life or something with 4 single friends and i think Tootie from Facts of Life was in that too.

  28. There were 28 eligible comments. I used the Random Integer Generator tool at Random.org to pick the winner:

    The winner was commenter number #2 of this post – Ess.
    Ess, I will email you and request mailing information. Please reply to that email ASAP. You have two weeks to claim the prize; after which time it will be rewarded to someone else (but I know you waaaant it).
    Thank you to everyone who participated!

  29. I grew up on listening to Queen Latifah, and I love her Ladie’s first song, along with my favorite movies which are The Bone Collector, Set It Off, Beauty Shop and the Cookout , just to name a few.

  30. I grew up as well listening to Queen Latifah music. One of my most favorite songs of hers is Unity because it show female female empowerment and that we as women have the right to have are own feelings by not being taken for granted.
    My favorite movie is hard to choose between set it off and hairspray but i would have to be the secret life of bees.This movie was a truly phenomenal and very touching. It also shows the range in her acting ability.
