Teen Urban Book Feature: Put on Your Crown: Life-Changing Moments on the Path to Queendom


By Queen Latifah

Once again,Queen Latifah has pursued the mission of lifting women's self-esteem.  She focuses on a few moments in her life that changed her, and describes them in a way that explains to the reader that it's the small choices that change your life. She explains these ideas by reflecting upon her struggles with her own body image, her music, and her acting.  She attributes her positive outlook to her mother, and even had her mother write a chapter in the book (She claims that the chapter her mother wrote is the best in the book.)   Uniquely, Queen Latifah validates the idea that many times women and girls feel "unpretty," but encourages the reader to explore her inner self and allow herself to be worthy.  All in all, the book is a treasure that can be read alone or together with a woman that you love.
