Early Life and Bio
Queen Latifah was born Dana Elaine Owens in Newark, New Jersey, on March 18, 1970. Latifah Owens, the second child of Lance and Rita Owens, is well recognized for her social activism, acting abilities, and ability to rhyme. A Muslim cousin gave her the nickname Latifah, which means “soft and sensitive” in Arabic when she was eight years old.
Latifah began singing in the Shiloh Baptist Church choir in Bloomfield, New Jersey, and her first public performance was in a production of The Wizard of Oz at St. Anne’s parochial school, where she performed a version of “Home” as one of the two Dorothys.
Latifah began singing and rapping in the restrooms and locker rooms during her freshman year of high school. In response to the formation of another young women’s group, she founded the rap group Ladies Fresh with her pals Tangy B and Landy D in her junior year. The band was soon making appearances everywhere they could. Latifah’s mother was a driving force since she was in tune with the students and the music. D.J. Mark the 45 King, a local disc jockey, was requested to perform at a school dance by her. Latifah and her pals, who nicknamed themselves the “Flavor Unit,” hung out in the basement of James’ parents’ house in East Orange, which was loaded with electrical and recording equipment.
