Book Review & Giveaway: Queen Latifah: Put On Your Crown

I have always been a huge fan of the Queen! I think she is an amazing singer and actress! She is also a strong woman and excellent role model! I was recently given the opportunity to review her new book "Put On Your Crown"! You can only imagine how excited I was. It's hard to read with two babies but I have been setting aside 2 hours a night after they go to be for some relaxation time which includes reading! I started reading her book the day I received it and couldn't put it down! It really is an inspirational book! I think you'll love it too!

"Modeled after Maria Shriver's Just Who Will You Be, Queen Latifah's goal with Put On Your Crown is to help young women build a strong sense of self-esteem. A US Dept. of Justice survey found that females ages 16-24 are more vulnerable to partner violence than any other group, almost triple the national average. Cases like Chris Brown's assault on pop star Rihanna showed an ugly side of adolescent life. However, Queen Latifah has always been a shining example of a woman happy with herself and unwilling to compromise to fit into the "hollywood ideal" of what a confident beautiful woman should look like."

I would love to win because Latifah is a strong woman who's comfortable with herself the way she is. She's a person to admire who doesn't let others determine her self worth.

I've always been a Queen fan, but didn't realize she had a new book out until I saw your blog!
She's got a great personal story and I have no doubt she has an inspirational message for women.
