I come back to this speech every once in a while.

@TrissyShaReese A great pep talk to start the day

She’s the reigning queen of the world.

Some powerful words of wisdom from the original 1981 Deena Jones aka Sheryl Lee Ralph. Preach Dreamgirl! Preach! 💤💭❤️

Sheryl Lee Ralph's speech is easily one of the greatest lessons in self-love in recent TV history 👑. 🤔 Fun Fact: While many associate her with the Emmys, that specific line ("People don't have to like you...") was the peak of her 2023 Critics Choice Awards speech. Sheryl shared that this mindset saved her after Sidney Poitier warned her at age 19 how tough the industry would be; she decided then that her only validation would come from the mirror, not from anyone else. Did you know? 🤯
