QueenLatifah

Born Dana Elaine Owens in 1970, Queen Latifah has done everything—earning a title as a world-class rapper, singer, and actress as well as winning a Grammy, Emmy, and Golden Globe (not to mention an Academy Award nomination) in her 30-year career. Her biggest single, U.N.I.T.Y., spoke out against the treatment of women in the rap community, calling for increased—you guessed it!—unity. She has never shied away from difficult subjects, using her songs to tackle issues like domestic violence. Though not officially out, Latifah has been seen in public with girlfriends at red carpet events. Pride covers her continuing career as an outstanding actress and rapper!
