About this audiobook

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.

    Queen Latifah is an inspiration. While I enjoyed reading her stories, struggles, and motivations, I wished there was more closure. It seemed like she was describing everything about herself, but didn't describe how it could relate to each and every individual... it left me grasping for more.

    From My Blog...There is a queen inside every woman and a girl just waiting to be allowed to be herself, true and authentic and to live in the moment. It is moments that Queen Latifah wants to share with all women and girls in her book Put On Your Crown. Queen Latifah makes it clear she never set out to be a role model, that is too great a responsibility for anyone, rather she was sickened to hear the statistics of women and girls who suffer from low-self esteem. Put On Your Crown is an authentic no nonsense look at moments that can change a person's life or thought process. This is not a book that tells one how to behave, as each person must listen to their own inner queen and follow their own path, rather this book speaks of the moments, those times we often ignore while we are too busy caught up in what could have been or what will be. Queen Latifah makes it quite clear that not all of these crucial moments will be positive ones, but moments to learn from all the same. In Put On Your Crown, Queen Latifah shares pivotal moments in her life and extrapolates those moments to moments we each could be experiencing in our own lives. Queen Latifah speaks directly to the reader in a pure, honest and direct voice, so listen up, Put On Your Crown is one book that should be read by women of all ages.

    This book was perfect. If left me wanting more of her beautiful insight at the end. Listening to her stories and the stories of her mother felt like listening to kind friends remind me what’s important in life. I am so grateful when I stumble upon books like this because you can’t buy this type of perspective and it’s truly a blessing to have access to it with just a click of a button. Please read this!

    Her calm & wisdom filled voice was inspiring. She did not let her circumstances define her and push through to greatness. At the same time recognizing that she’s a real model to others and wants to do her part in investing into the world through her achievements & kindness.

    I love this audiobook. It was uplifting and inspiring. It taught me how to relax more and live a little all at the same time. I’m really glad I listened to this audiobook. It makes me feel like I could do many things. Just so long as I take the time out to enjoy myself and life along the way. Thanks Queen for sharing.

    This book felt like a conversation with a wise, trusted friend, which is exactly what Queen Latifah mentioned as her objective in the introduction. She opens up about the greatest lessons she's learned (about health, fear, wealth, self-esteem, love and loss) and how she learned them.

    Excellent, relatable book! Thanks Queen for sharing part of yourself in such a candid and honest way. So many thought provoking, aha moments throughout the listen. It’s a book I hope my daughter would some day get round to reading. This is a book packed with lessons that both women and men young and old could actually enjoy.

    “Life isn’t promised and those special moments need to be cherished for whatever they are. We get so caught up in our busyness that too often we forget the moments that bring us joy. No moment is too inconsequential to explore. There’s no need to take a big bite at life if you’re not going to savor it!”

    While I don't necessarily think of myself as a young woman anymore (which is who the book is geared towards) I do think that this book contains lessons that any woman, and even men, should learn. The basic ideas of the book are love yourself for who you are, take time to care for yourself first, and love the people around you for who they are. I've always liked Queen Latifah. She's always seemed to me to be fairly grounded. I think my favorite thing about this book is that she proves to the reader that she's just a normal person. She makes mistakes, she's not perfect, and she realizes that. I think she's a great role model. (Side note I LOVE her fashion sense. I have for a while, but my love for her eye was solidified when I read How to Never Look Fat Again and it says something to the effect that if you're a plus size woman dress like Queen Latifah, she knows what she's doing.) I've been going through some tough times mentally in the last year or so and reading this book did help me. While it's mostly stuff I already knew (like I said it's geared for young women, and I have left that arena a bit ago) it was information that I needed to remind myself. Somehow reading that "The Queen" was and had been going through some of the same things really helped me find the strength I needed to kick my own butt and get myself back on track again. If you're having some self doubt, about anything in your life pick this one up. If you know a young woman pass it along. It can't hurt to try and teach a young woman the lessons we've all had to learn the hard way! It also could be beneficial for some young men. It's written for a woman, but I think the lessons are great for men or women.A review copy of this book was provided by the publisher. This is not a paid review and is a truthful and honest review.
