Although she never performed on that stage, The Billie Holiday Theater in Brooklyn welcomed Sheryl Lee Ralph this past Saturday 18 as she spoke candidly to hundreds of her supporters.

Sitting on stage with Emmy award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph was Cheryl Wills of NY1. The singer, actress and activist brought the curtains down on her two outstanding real conversations.
Ralph, who was there to discuss and promote her book “Diva 2.0, 12 Life Lessons From Me For You”, found what she called home sitting at the Billie, center stage, and masterfully converting into characters from Broadway performances to television and big screen actors, while delivering real talk to an audience of predominantly women of all ages.
Through her dialogue she kept it real. Ralph took her audience to school, she took them to church, she took them to the streets and then she brought them home to an understanding of who and what she is about. She kept it real, and empowered them for this Women’s History Month and beyond.
