    I think it's amazing that Lena named her production company after the fictional college in A Different World. It was such a legendary sitcom that represented the culture.

    Can we talk about Lena's prep? There is no shame in her game. This interview was wonderful. It truly felt like a conversation of friends who truly know each other. And Lena just left room for Sheryl to be the incredible Sheryl.

    I just followed this Podcast. I have not even finished watching this interview but I already know, from Lena's interview style, that she is going to ask the relevant questions. And from the title of her podcast, I already know that Black Excellence is going to show up! Let's support this podcast. Peace and blessings!

    I was not expecting this combination but I clicked so fast once it was suggested to me. Sheryl is a full queen.
    Really good to know somebody that knows somebody, connection is important. She was speaking full aunty gems.

    Ms. Lena. This is a WONDERFUL show. So inspiring. I had the honor of working with Anna Maria Horsford on a small project and I hope you have her on one day. Another legend who I am sure would have interesting, motivating things to share.

    What a great interview! I love hearing about these amazing stories from the legendary Sheryl Lee Ralph. I grew up on this woman, going all the way back to the series _It’s A Living_ When she won her Emmy, I broke down crying. We gotta give our legendary black artists their flowers while they’re still alive. Sheryl also has a good reputation for showing up to Howard University graduation ceremonies to celebrate a the graduates.
    Congrats on launching this site-down podcast. The set is so warm and calming. You’re a great interviewer Lena 🤗

    I enjoyed this interview. There is ease and trust in this exchange and it comes through in the questions and answers. I'm always intrigued by the intangibles, the tangents and details that paint the true picture of an experience. The remark about Ms Ralph adjusting her skillset for the medium (theatre, film and television) the craft elements only an experienced actor can really talk about. I love her definition of a great actress, it starts with you. There are actors who act like characters and there are actors who are characters. Ms Ralph is a part of so many pivotal shifts in entertainment. The Dream Girls full circle moment is coming.

    Thank you for going through the “FIRE” Mrs. Ralph, you always remind me to keep going!! Mentioning Rosalind Cash was the cherry on top. These “LEGACY TALKS” are necessary, thank you Lena!

    I got a chance to meet Ms Sheryl on my very first night in NEW YORK.....KIND...GRACIOUS... AND EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON.... Before they even did the film version of DREAMGIRLS I asked her who would she like to play Deena if they made the film.....I'll keep that a secret because Beyonce understood the assignment....but if it wasn't Beyonce this young lady DEFINITELY would have been incredible
