Karimah Westbrook Instagram – The year was 1999 when I’d first learned about Queen Latifah’s book “Ladies First”. She was coming to Chicago for a book signing and I was so hyped to buy it, get it signed and to actually meet her. On the day, I bundled up and weathered the icy weather and met the Queen herself at the bookstore. Swipe for pic.😊 The quote above is from her book. It was one that stuck with me. Even to this day, I am reminded of how those who have come before us, those who have been there done that, they have much wisdom to share to help us on our way. Cheers to the Queen for this one!
