Ralph’s Dramatic Reaction After His Historic Emmy Award Win
“The Mighty Queen” actress is sure to come into this year with a big smile on her face as she previously won an Emmy Award in September for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
Per The Blast, the actor, who is also a singer, performed a moving song after accepting the award. Ralph made great history with her Emmy win succeeding Jackee Harry, who won in 1987 for “227”, thus becoming the second black woman to win such an award in the category.

He began by singing a verse from Diane Reeves’ 90s song “Endangered Species.” He sings, “I’m an endangered species, but I don’t sing the victim’s song. I am a woman, I am an artist, and I know where my voice is”.
The performance of the song received thunderous applause from the audience. He then delivered a motivational speech.
He said, “To anyone who’s ever had a dream and thought your dream would never come true, I’m here to tell you that this is what it looks like to believe. This is what effort looks like, and you should never give up.”
He went on to thank his fellow actors, family, and everyone who supported and voted for him.
