Musician and actor Queen Latifah is in her second year of leading the Queen Collective, a talent development initiative that seeks out and supports filmmakers who are women of color. This year, after reviewing dozens of film submissions, Latifah and her team handpicked the work of three aspiring filmmakers — all women of color — to champion. Documentaries “Tangled Roots” by Sam Knowles and “Gloves Off” by Nadine Natour and Ugonna Okpalaoka will now receive support from Latifah and other industry professionals to help bolster their success.
