Emmy award-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph, has opened up on why she chose to wear a kente gown to the 2023 NAACP Image Awards.
Speaking on The Personality Profile on Joy FM, she revealed that knowing her hit show ‘Abbott Elementary’ was going to be nominated for an Image Award, she wanted an outfit that reflected Africa.
“I was strolling through the internet and I saw this beautiful woman, looks like she and I were from the same tribe, and she had on this gorgeous kente gown and I loved it. I asked who the designer was and found it on the Pitis GH page,” Sheryl Lee Ralph told Lexis Bill on Thursday.
“I told them I know that the show (Abbott Elementary) is going to be nominated for an image award and I want to have something that reflects true, real and royal Africa. We went through picking the colours and all that,” the actress noted.
