Good Morning. I hope that you are enjoying this weekend, fully vaccinated and boosted, with family and friends.

There is a thing as ‘famous’
And then there is ‘Black famous’.

And, one of the things that can put a smile on your face is to see someone of deep talent, that is ‘ Black famous’ be given their roses, while alive, and an acknowledgement by the larger society about the talent that they have overlooked.

The talent is Sheryl Lee Ralph…who has been fabulous..well, for forever and a day.

For Sheryl Lee Ralph (@thesherylralph), who has quietly and steadily built a 45-year career in an industry not always welcoming of her skin tone, taking up space has deep personal resonance. But until recently, it has come with little widespread acclaim. https://t.co/pVeZ1RXZA6

Never scene photos taken of my mother like this. These are beautiful, magical even. They truly encapsulates her regal nature in a nuanced perspective. @thesherylralph you already won! Shout out the shooter Erik Carter. pic.twitter.com/cV5783Tj8a
