    She's right about the era. I was a part of that creative force in the Hip Hop Culture, So when she said that the infrastructure sewn well for her to come in. Her sentiments were accurate. I remember back in 1979 being introduced to the two turntables and a mixer from an Caucasian Brother. So the culture was powerful at the time. Latifah is a trailblazer. She's also versatile.

    This interview somehow reminded me that during the investigation on Bill Cosby, some expressed the emotional difficulty we face seeing a public role model for decades charged with abusive crimes. But the truth is, there are still extraordinary people in the public light fighting for the cause they believe in through their work of art, in my opinion serves as true role model for ethics, equality, and beliefs. And Queen Latifah in this interview really represent the real Queen presence in my heart! Rosing from misogynistic music culture, evolving to different platforms carrying the same beliefs on gender and racial quality, ethical values, and giving back to community, now almost 3 decades. I think this is just a much better representation of role model for females or minority background or just everyone in general! And Yes! raising awareness on mental health issue is so important in our society today! You go Queen!

    Queen Latifah is a beautiful person, down to earth , and a funny, talented artist. And, I did to know her home town was in Newark. I hope to meet her one day since I am so taken with the area of Newark as one of my favorite radio stations, WBGO, is located there. I agree with what she said about how important African culture and their intelligence should be respected in America as they have given so much to America. I very much support the community and have a very soft spot in my heart for them, especially, since I worked 20 years with Afro-American kids and kids with color in the inner city-Brooklyn High Schools and a few in South Florida. These are some of the reasons besides how I love people in general, why I am so proud to do paintings and collage reflecting my experience knowing them . Additionally, they have influenced my taste in music and fashion as well as have, on average, accepted me so many times as a teacher, mentor, neighbor, and, or friend, while I, on-goingly learn how very fair and highly, social they are.....and, that we have a strong commonality being such social and outgoing people, as I have learned I am sinceegen though I am a third generation American, I am from a Syrian/Romanian background. And, my ancestors, too, were slaves, so I feel deeply for them.
