Sheryl Lee Ralph Might Actually Be Having The Best Year Of Us All

Earlier in the year, we declared that Lizzo is having the best year of us all. Although the singer has been doing nothing but winning all year, another contender has snuck up on us! “Abbot Elementary” star, Sheryl Lee Ralph has quickly risen up to take the “best year” throne, here’s why.

Accepting her (Long Overdue) Emmy Award

The actress brought many to tears with her inspirational Emmy win. After being a staple in Black cinema for years, she was finally awarded with her first major award. Her win showed the power in patience and trusting the process.

“Anyone who has ever, ever had a dream and thought your dream…couldn’t come true. I am here to tell you that this is what believing looks like,” she said in her acceptance speech. “This is what striving looks like. And don’t you ever, ever give up on you.”

Savage X Fenty Show Vol 4

The actress recently took to Instagram to announce that she will be one of the many stars on our screens at the Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4. She captioned the post, “R U ready for this #SAVAGEFENTYSHOW 11.9.22 ? I know I am and I’m in it!! SAVAGE!!!!”

She will be joined by names such as Taraji P. Henson, Damson Idris , Kornbread, Marsai Martin, Winston Duke, Rickey Thompson, Taylour Paige, and many more. Friends of the actress flooded her comments when she made the announcement. “Abbott Elementary” co-star, Quinta Brunson commented “WE ARENT READY.” “Run The World” actress Bresha Webb also commented “Get your entire life Mrs. Ralph 😍.” It’s safe to say, many are excited to see Sheryl strut her stuff.

Honored With The Order Of Jamaica

Our original Dreamgirl was honored in her home country of Jamaica with the Order of Jamaica. Similar to America’s Medal of Freedom, the Order of Jamaica is a coveted honor that is given to citizens of outstanding distinction.

She was awarded the honor at King’s House by Jamaican prime minister Andrew Michael Holness. As one of ten recipients awarded the nation’s fifth-highest honor, she now goes by a new title: The Honourable Sheryl Lee Ralph OJ (Order of Jamaica).

Forbes 50 Over 50

The actress was also added to Forbes’ 2022 50 Over 50 list. According to Forbes, the 50 Over 50 is proof that success and happiness have no expiration date and Sherly embodies just that!

The wins just do not stop for the icon. We will be keeping a close eye on her wins for the remainder of the year (because they are sure to keep rolling in). Sheryl Lee Ralph might just walk away from 2022 with that “best year” crown!
