## Caption

@thesherylleeralph began her Rutgers career as a pre-med student, but later changed her major to English literature and theater arts after she encountered her first cadaver. Ralph found her true calling when she landed the lead in a play on campus. In fact, she completed her degree requirements in only three years and became Rutgers’ youngest female graduate at the time. @glamourmag named her one of the top 10 college women in America. ⁣
⁣
On Broadway, she originated the role of Deena Jones in the musical Dreamgirls, which earned her a Tony award nomination and a Drama Desk Award nomination for best actress. She returned to Broadway in spring 2002, originating the role of sassy chanteuse Muzzy Van Hossmere in the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie, which won six Tony awards. ⁣
⁣
Ralph is also founder of the Diva Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that uses music and entertainment as a vehicle to create awareness of and erase the stigma attached to HIV/AIDS.⁣
