Queen Latifah & Rita Owens: Friendship and affection matter.
"My mother particularly tuned in to who I was. I felt like she was a friend, someone I really trusted and I saw that continue for the rest of my life," said Latifah. "There was a lot kissing and hugging and of course a lot of discipline and tutelage but a lot of affection and love about life," she continued, noting that her family's level of affection always seemed higher than other families.
