QUEEN LATIFAHNo one ever got ahead by going through the motions. You have to constantly be improving yourself. Make your life the masterpiece you want it to be.
QUEEN LATIFAHI promised my mom that if, after a year of putting 150 percent into my career it didn’t work out, I would go back to school. I never did go back.
QUEEN LATIFAHThere are so many things I’d like to do. Like becoming a parent. To me that is the next natural progression in life.
QUEEN LATIFAHI often find it’s just the confidence that makes you sexy, not what your body looks like. It’s how you feel about yourself that makes you sexy.
QUEEN LATIFAHI have always felt strongly about empowering women. I’m living proof that, with confidence and by believing in yourself, you can accomplish any goal.

QUEEN LATIFAHAlways follow your own path.
