Queen Latifah Soul Sisterhood
Nearly 20 years after her debut album, All Hail The Queen, Dana Elaine Owens (a.k.a. Queen Latifah), is a one-woman industry, an acclaimed musician as well as actress, while her own Cover Girl makeup line for women of color has made her a cosmetics queen as well.
But most importantly, Latifah is upholding a tradition started with The Queen of Soul herself, Aretha Franklin. She’s the latest in a long line of soul sistas who are unabashedly strong, black, and proud. They are musical women — rappers, neo-soul singers, and old-school R&B vocalists — who define beauty and style on their own purely individual terms. In a world of peroxide, botox, and prefabrication, these women are a breath of fresh musical air.
Here’s the great soul sisterhood. Women, take note. Men, step back. See CommentsRelated Galleries

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...
tattedkell35 said "I hope Jesse and Sandra get the little girl. I think Sandra really loves the child,just from the photos I've seen. Plus, the Mom is married to a ex con. I think they were both on drugs and are now sober. The is a train wreck. I think the child has been through enough trama. She needs a stable home. "

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"
