I've watched black women be strong, caring, sensitive, handle their business and be entrepreneurs. Black woman in general have been equalizing for eons, you know, from Hatshepsut to Stacey Abrams to my grandmother.

Queen Latifah: It means the world to me to be in this role. That's the most important thing, just making sure everything looks sharp and crisp.

Queen Latifah: Well, I think it's a lot more work involved, I'll tell you that much. ![]() What is it like to be in a full on action series?

If a story is rebooted and told in the right way, it develops a own brand new audience. Then you have this sort of melancholy feeling about it and and you wish you could see it again. ![]() You fall in love with shows and then they go away, and then you miss them. We're going to see it our way on television. But there are people doing this right now somewhere. Seeing someone who jumps in and stands up for someone who can't fight for themselves, is something I think we all have in our hearts somewhere especially seeing someone with the skillset of Robyn McCall. I think The Equalizer has an idea that is a constant. But some people have loved certain projects and would love to see them updated or rebooted, because of the idea of it. ![]() Queen Latifah: You can go either way, because some people don't want to see reboots of certain things.
