Queen Latifah is a sensation.
At nineteen, she was the first female solo rapper to have a
major record deal. Four years later she had become a top
television actress and movie star. She earned a Grammy,
started a record label, and became the president of her own
company. Today she is rap music's most enduring female
force. But how did Dana Owens, a young girl from Newark, New
Jersey, become Queen Latifah and make it to the top of the
charts? The most powerful voice in rap has always been
quiet about her life. Until now. At once autobiographical and inspirational, Ladies First is
the story of a young woman, making tough decisions and
terrible mistakes -- about sex and drugs and about who was
real and who wasn't -- before she was old enough to drive.
It is about the reign of depression that descended on her
after her brother's tragic death and how she found a
sustaining love in God when it seemed the world was trying
to break her. Ladies First is about being confident and
sensual in a big, strong body and about blocking out the
junk to let in the good. It is about how anyone -- whether
from the poorest means or the richest -- can hold her head
high in a world full of attitude. In a queen's universe, each experience is a lesson. Keeping
it real and making no excuses, Queen Latifah shares her
truth about what's important in life. Full of wisdom and
revelations, Ladies First will instill in you the same self-
esteem, respect, and courage that brought Queen Latifah
peace and her independent edge. Allow her to guide you to
discover who you are -- inside and out-as you discover who
she is. Ladies First is one woman's journey to find the riches that
were in her life all along, and it is a message of majesty
for everyone. With Ladies First, the queen who lives within
all of us will rise.
