Mo'Nique Says A lot Of Black Women Want To Be Called Queen...But Many Don't Put IN THE WORK

Mo’Nique‘s day out at the beach in Miami became a teaching moment on Dec. 5, after the comedian asked her followers if they “qualified” to be called the word queen. In the Instagram video, Mo’Nique shared that she thought about this subject because of the everyday use of the word when individuals would address one another. She said, “While I was walking [on] the beach, I was having a conversation with myself and the universe, and I was going over this word queen because we often refer to each as ‘hey queen, hey queen, hey queen.’ But here’s my question: Do we qualify to be referring to one another as queen.” The 53-year-old also said that in order for her to find what the term queen meant, she had to look up the following women: civil rights activist, singer and songwriter Queen Makeba, Queen Nefertiti –who was the queen of Egypt and wife to King Akhenaton– and Queen Candace. Queen Candace was an Ethiopian queen who defended her kingdom against Roman Empire armies. https://atlantablackstar.com/2021/12/08/monique-speak-on-the-deeper-meaning-behind-the-word-queen-and-questions-if-many-women-qualify-for-the-title/
