Angelique Jackson When a queen speaks, people listen. And when that royalty is Queen Latifah, an Emmy and Grammy winner and Oscar nominee, her words are even more impactful.Latifah was honored on Thursday at the Glasshouse NYC alongside Kim Cattrall, Drew Barrymore, Venus Williams, Camila Cabello and Amanda Seyfried at Variety’s Power of Women ceremony, presented by Lifetime. The event celebrates the accomplishments and philanthropy of women across the entertainment industry.In her cover story, Latifah explained why events such as this are important.“[Women are] not often celebrated and affirmed in the way we should be,” she commented.
“We need to not only be affirmed, but to support one another, and to show that we support one another.” Latifah, and her fellow honorees, acknowledged that it’s a turbulent time in America in the wake of the news that the Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade.“This issue of Variety is celebrating the power of women, and it’s a strange time for us,” Latifah said on stage. “There’s a group of people who are trying to steal our power.
Our power to decide what we want for our lives, our families, our future. My whole life, people have been trying to diminish my power. They’ve always tried to diminish the power of the woman.
It’s like what I tell my friends who don’t want to vote sometimes. If the vote wasn’t worth something, they wouldn’t be trying to keep us from voting. I feel the same way about womanhood.
