She’s always been a Queen, but now she’s an icon!

Queen Latifah will be honored as an Entertainment Icon at this year’s American Black Film Festival Honors. With a career full of success on the big screen, small screen, Broadway stage, radio and more, it’s no wonder why the Oscar-winning entertainer was chosen for this prestigious award. “It means so much to me coming from fellow entertainers and my peers,” the Queen said in a statement.

The American Black Film Festival Honors, hosted by Regina Hall, will air on BET and Centric, Feb. 22 at 8pm.
