Put on Your Crown
Put on Your Crown: Life-Changing Moments on the Path to Queendom | Queen Latifah
4 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
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. The result: She's one of the biggest A-list celebrities in Hollywood.

Late update on the weekend when I completed the last two books for #Booked2018
I read almost all the titles on Overdrive but I wanted to get hold of the physical books to post (I am whimsy like that ;))

Queen Latifah's book seemed right for #BodyPositive but it was mostly an inspiration memoir with life lessons. Somewhat trite but so many useful reminders about living to the fullest or at least contentedly. Short chapters kept this an easy read

GatheringBooks i have overdrive now too, but really struggling with reading from a device 7y
BookishMe @GatheringBooks I suppose it's tough in the beginning. The convenience of reading at night and almost instant access to the titles has long won me over... I want to get an iPad mainly to use Overdrive. 7y
Cinfhen You‘re so funny!!! I use OverDrive a lot too, even though it‘s not my preferred method of reading @GatheringBooks but it is super convenient and a great way to save $$$ 7y

BookishMe @Cinfhen time saver too! Impatient readers like me need not wait until the library trip to get hold of the book. Whether I read it immediately or not, is a different story 😅🤣😅🤣 7y
Cinfhen Don‘t even ask what my OVERDRIVE situation looks like ... 7y
BookishMe @Cinfhen hahaha.... I constantly check loans to remember what I have borrowed ;p 7y
