@blkgirlrewind: At NCAT’s commencement ceremony, Queen Latifah spoke about the importance of being “delusional” enough to believe in yourself before anyone else does. Before becoming an award-winning rapper, actress, and producer, Dana Owens chose the name “Queen Latifah” as a teenager because “Latifah” means delicate and kind in Arabic. She created the persona for herself years before Hollywood embraced her, and built a career that helped redefine how Black women are represented in music, film, and television. #queenlatifah #NCAT #graduationseason #blackwomen
