I look in the mirror and I say, hello, darling, look at you,

Past simple

(upbeat ambient music) Yeah, you woke up like that.

Hi, I'm Sheryl Lee Ralph and I am here to explain it all.

to become an actress was probably at birth.

about how when I was born, I came out laughing

and that was during a time when they used to slap babies

on their behinds to make sure they were alive

And they said, I came out in full laughter.

So there was no need to check to see if I could breathe.

the moment I decided I should be an actress.

it was one day of the longest grueling audition of my life.

and this girl group was going to be, believe it or not,

in the 50s, and they were going to fight racism, sexism

they were going to search for love on their own terms.

I happened to walk into the building behind Loretta Divine,

And I remember, my God, I am in the wrong place

because with all of these voices, all of this talent,

Tom Iron said, no, please sing something from church.

you know, he would say, sing something from church.

because I guess they weren't expecting that.

And I was thinking in my head, we're not all Baptists.

a gentleman came out with a clipboard and notepad

and his pen and he said, I'm going to call some names,

And they said, Loretta Divine, Ramona Brooks

and I was getting up to leave and Sheryl Lee Ralph,

and I was stunned to silence and I took my seat.

to become "Dream Girls", the original Dina Jones.

Years later, I would ask Tom, I said, why me?

And he said, well, I had the one that sang like this.

And then there was you who sang like this.

my greatest role models were my mother and my father,

and they made me everything that I am and still becoming.

I was blessed with wonderful parents, wonderful family.

And now I even get to look at my children to be inspired.

When I need advice, I really turn to my husband.

He is probably one of the smartest, most intelligent,

well read, insightful, kind, loving people that I know.

yes, I always tell people I love politics so much

What drew me to Abbot Elementary was its creator, its writer

I really knew this woman, I've met and seen this woman,

You know, my auntie Carolyn, a lifelong educator
