Ladies first

de Latifah Queen · Publicada por primera vez en 1999

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 and hosts her own talk show. But how did Dana Owens, a young girl from Newark, NJ 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 one 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 descenden 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 noise to let in the good.
