(Jamaica Observer) The accolades just keep coming for Sheryl Lee Ralph.
The American-born actress, who has Jamaican heritage, learnt on Monday that she is among a new group of entertainment professionals selected to receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Ralph, who was on a flight from Jamaica to New York when she received the news, told the Jamaica Observer that she was surprised by the announcement made by Ellen K, chair of the Walk of Fame Selection Panel.
“I can’t believe it,” she said on being contacted shortly after her flight landed.
“This reminds me of what my grandmother used say, ‘What is fi yuh, cyaan be un-fi yuh’,” added Ralph, her reference to the Jamaican proverb which translates: What is meant to be yours, will be yours.
