Queen Latifah

Overview

Queen Latifah has become a symbol of strength and integrity in the hip hop world, and beyond. At the age of 30, she has had a full career, starting in the rap world, and then transcending it, as she conquered new territory with a successful television sitcom, major movie roles, and most recently, a daily television talk show. But this powerful Queen has her sensitive side. In fact, years ago, she changed her name to Latifah the Muslim word for delicate and sensitive. In a highly emotional interview, she describes how deeply affected she was by the death of her brother Lance in a motorcycle accident in 1992. Now working on her fifth album, Queen Latifah has a new goal in mind: starting her own family.
