(b. March 18, 1970, Newark, N.J.), African American rap
artist, actress, entertainment executive, and entrepreneur.
Queen Latifah, born Dana Owens in Newark, New Jersey, was
nicknamed "Latifah" (which means "delicate" and "sensitive"

Soon afterward her parents separated, and Latifah moved
with her mother, Rita, and older brother, Lance Jr., into a
housing project in East Newark.

Drawing upon several African American dance forms, break
dancing coalesced in the 1970s and reached its peak in

eventually took a position as an art teacher at Irvi More...

Queen Latifah I just want to say that you are the best, and that I am doing a project on you, and I find it very easy, because I know alot about you. thank
p.s. thanks for beong the best rich person I know
Dear queen,
I live in a rural area of Oglethorpe, Georgia but I was raised in Bronx, New York. After several months, it became apparent to me the urgent need to implement a youth program. There is no entertainment or recreation for the youth to get involved with in the community, such as amusement park, dance, playground, roller rink, swimming pool, theater to name but a few.
Education is a low priority. There are three schools- elementary, middle and high school.
Macon County High School failed Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) five years consecutive from 2004-2009. Macon County Middle School failed the AYP two year consecutive from 2003-2005 and failed the AYP every other year to date. Macon County Elementary School failed the AYP from 2003-2004, 2006 and 2009.
An online search provided the proximity of the nearest tutor program which is about 65 miles from Oglethorpe. These programs charge high fees. Families in these counties earn low income.
After consideration, I decided to tutor youth from this school district. I founded the J&S Tutoring and Mentoring Program to service this area. I charge a nominal fee, $55/stud/wk. Still, parents find it difficult to afford my service.
First year of operation I had a total of 8 students. All of my students did well and received promotions to high honor awards. J&S Tutoring and Mentoring Program is into its second year of operation and prays for more success.
I want to expand to accommodate space for computers, textbooks and more students. I want to ease the burden on families that want their children to learn, but who cannot afford the cost of my program. I have written a letter to Georgia Governor Purdue that addressed the problem. He referred me to the city assembly. I spoke to the town assembly with no redress. I have very limited resource. I cannot afford the 501 c3. I do not seek contribution or donation of any kind. However, if there is information your company can propose that will benefit these youth feel free to suggest. Thank you
Sincerely,
Robert McDonald, Jr.

Finally i can say somethin about my role model. I never had this feeling for anyone else that i have for you Dana, not even for my mom. I read anything about you, watch any movie which you played in and listen to every speech you offer. At times i clunch ur pi'ture with tears in my eyes wishing that i can meet you one day, to greed you, chat wit you a little and stare at you for as long as i want to, not like I used to do...pausing the movie whenever your face appears on the screen. Your my star, keep on shining.
I pray for you, all the best!!!

Dear Queen Latifah
You and I know that health care is a right not a privilege. But it seems that the insurance companies, Republicans and conservative Democrats have decided that they can force President Obama to capitulate to them and not keep his campaign promise to us. We need to create a society where all our citizens are insured. Now is the time to show our solidarity with President Obama. A NATIONAL MARCH ON WASHINGTON in support of Obama’s health care initiative is needed to show congress that we demand their support And we need it now.
Can you help mobilize such a march? With you behind it such a march would have to succeed. Time is of the essence.
dear Latifah,.. i just went through your biography now and i was really moved and inspired,.. how i wish i could have a little privacy with you,.... i have a very big dream,which i can just wait to bring to reality,.. you really are a world queen,.. Here is another Michael Jackson,.. i have passion and love for the world,though i am an African...
I will be most grateful if you can get back to me through the email,..
I love you Latifah.
I do hope to read from you soon
i love ya | Reviewer: ira myers

When Queen Latifah enters a scene on film, on stage, or in private, she takes center stage; this woman has it all - talent, a good sense of humor, a warm laugh, a helping hand, a caring desposition, a good heart, and a magic that radiates all around her. Simply put - I adore this woman and admire everything that she does.

Latifah i have problomes at home my sister is living with me and my brother is also i dont know what to do i have to watch my two kids.i dont know how you got throw your stuf but i admiyor sorry about the spelling i never was good at that .
I saw you on AMA tonight and was so excited until I heard your prouncement about Obama and a "fellow brother" in office for his people. Aren't we all his people? Last time I saw we all lived in America. I just like you was bought up in the projects and me just like you did something with our life. I am a struggling single mother with a child trying to make it on my own. Without the help of the "system" and his father. I hold 3 jobs, a mortgage, taking care of my disable mother and living paycheck to paycheck. Do I complain--NO! I do what I have to and make the most out of a bad situation. I just get so upset when I sit there and see everyone complaining about something that they themselves could do to change for the better. Everyone has the opportunity to make something out of themselves only if they apply and not rely on the "system." You being a woman should relate. If anyone is discrimanated against, it is women both black, white and every other nationality. We struggle everyday to make something of ourselves only to be knocked down by men of all races. If we do not have a "college degree" we do not move up the corporate ladder. We just get to train those that have the degree and they move up as we sit back and watch. I really hope Obama lives to his promises and help all Americans, not those by race. I have never played the race game or gender game, nor will I. I will survive for who I am, not my color or my gender. In case you are wondering I am white and I get very upset with the race card. I have seen alot in my life and would really love to see everyone get along as one nation and unite together. Because if we keep playing this "race card" another 911 will happen and this time it could be worse. We are all Americans, no matter what the race, gender or religion. Please remember that in your next speech.
Queen latifah you are so admiring to me. I love all your work and I'm did my school paper on you for my project. What I'm really trying to say is young girls like me look up to you and I hope you continue doing what you doing.

The message is for Queen Latifah. I just want you to understand the impact that you have on women. You seem so smart, strong, loving and kind and most of all understanding. I'm at a point in my life and I have so many, many, many ideas that will reach out to our young. But cares enough to listen and guide me through my dreams and ideas. Who can feel what I feel and understand what I feel. When I see your commericals, or hear your voice, I'm all over it. Your beauty is sooooo deep and just glows, like a candle and that's the type of friendship I would love to have and my son. It just seems impossible. Queen just keep me in your prayers that I don't die with my dreams (no attempt on ending my life). They say the richest people are dead. Why we ask? Because look how many people have died with all those wonderful dreams. Keep living QUEEN!!!!!
I love your movies that is why you are my favorite actor and singer. You are my role model and I hope that I could see you one day. I love the way you make every body laughand smile. I'm only 14 years old but, when I get out of school I am going to be just like you. I'm going to be in hollywood and get to see you very day.
Queen Latifah you have inspired my family and friends in the middle of IOWA!!!! and thank you very much for being our role model! and we love your music and acting!!!!!and god bless you in all you do
