Queen Latifah is determined to fix one of the most glaring flaws in the film industry: the unrelenting lack of representation, access, and opportunity for women filmmakers of color.

“When you speak to two out of three Black people, when they say they don’t see themselves represented in the media, that’s a problem,” she tells POPSUGAR. The multihyphenate says she’s found “one of the ways in which we can make a difference,” though. That solution? Queen Collective, Procter & Gamble’s powerful talent development initiative she helped launch in 2019, in partnership with her company Flavor Unit Entertainment and Tribeca Studios, that aims to create more gender and racial equality behind the camera.
